Is it just xdm that doesn't run? That is, if you disable xdm and log in |
| 10 |
via the console, can you run startx? |

It's possible that your Xorg configuration is relying on some device or |
| 13 |
setting that HAL is providing for you but udev itself isn't. (Can't |
| 14 |
think of anything specific offhand, though). If this were the case, |
| 15 |
trying to run X by itself as root should also fail. You would also see |
| 16 |
the errors in your Xorg.0.log file, pointing to whichever device is the |
| 17 |
problem. |

To fix this, you'd need to find and remove the offending device |
| 20 |
reference. A good first start is to try simply removing any xorg.conf |
| 21 |
you happen to have lying around and let X try to find everything itself |
| 22 |
(without HAL). |
