Hi All
When booting Irix on my Indigo2 instead of seeing xdm I see this image below. Can someone tell me what's wrong?
The screen is OK during all booting process. I can login in single user mode, but in "normal" booting process I see this at the end instead of xdm.
I was stoping some services like sendmail and routed but nothing related to XWindow and/org gfx. I made some changes to /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers but I restored it to original with no results. So any ideas? TIA

Perhaps try diagnostics from the PROM boot screen, to cover the hardware angle? Also you might check to see if X windows is emitting any logs.

Well... Because it was almost fresh Irix installation that I was "tuning" I reinstalled it again and the problem dissolved. It boots OK now.
