Well, here's to life on the bleeding edge.

I initialy installed the new kernel, 99p8,
which caused xdm to fail.

- xdm comes up and presents login prompt
- login takes username and passwd
- seems to pass control to xinit
- then snaps back to the login

So, switch back to 99p7A.

Lilo 0.10 comes out.  Install lilo
boots fine.  
Now X wont even come up!  Both for the 99p8 kernel
and the 99p7A kenel.

- startx runs and sets userresources and systemresources
- xinit gets called
- xinit dies with ..

Fatal server error:

server is already active for display 0

What is that now?
Thouroughly baffled.  Any help appreciated.

Thanks
