I have added xdm to my default run level. However, when I reboot the system, it never loads xdm.

Here's the catch. Once the system loads and presents me with a CLI login, I can type *ANY* character(s), as if I were logging in, and when I hit enter (to put in the user password), xdm launches with whatever display manager I configure it to launch. No command is executed since I never make it to logging in.

Files I've checked:
/etc/X11/startDM.sh
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession,Xsetup_0
I have 3 logs. xorg/xdm/kdm...

I'm not sure where to check. I'm pretty sure it's a simple solution but nonetheless..... I'm stuck.

NOTE: some files might be different.

Hmm.

Linux is weird sometimes. Sometimes problems "just go away" without any indication of what was done to remedy the problem.

Oh well. At least xdm launches on it's own now. It seemed to have "repaired" itself after I installed a new kernel, booted to the new kernel, then booted into the old kernel.
