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

Edit: With apologies, I no longer wish to have involvement with SGUG or SGI communities in general,
and have also chosen to remove all of my content. Many things have changed since I co-founded, named, and ultimately
then left SGUG. There are many good people around, to whom I apologize for frustrating by removing these things, and
also many petty people that over the years whittled down both the enjoyment as well as sense of obligation I used to
feel to anyone else regarding what was ultimately just a hobby. Unfortunately one of the latter now writes the rules
and so it is time for me to take my things and go.

This message will replace all of my previous forum posts because deleting threads that I started would have removed
other peoples' posts.

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