<div dir="ltr">Login with ssh via another machine and check to
see if any processes are still present under the Xorg,
preventing it from exiting. Something like 'ps axlR' nicely
indents children relative to their parents. If the Xorg
itself is gone, X may have exited but not been able to return
to syscons/vty mode. You can also try running xdm manually
instead from /etc/ttys to see if that has something to do with
it... just do 'xdm' with no arguments in that case.

<br>
Thanks for the tip about indented children, very useful. Here
are the results (neither the xdm by itself, nor the ttys xdm
will exit, as either user or root). BTW, this isn't just wmaker,
it does the same thing with fvwm, twm, or cwm (the three other
ones I tried). I didn't do the process evaluation on any others
than wmaker, but the behavior (not returning to xdm) is the
same.<br>

Thanks,<br>

Hi again Matt,<br>
<br>
Well, I still don't know what's up with xdm, but I did install slim
and after exiting wmaker, the system takes 10 seconds or so, then
beeps and returns to the slim login screen. So, that's a workable
session manager. I'm happy to troubleshoot the xdm stuff further (I
did a lot of editing .xsesssion, different users, etc. to same
conclusion), but I can live with (actually prefer) slim anyway :).<br>
<br>
What I did:<br>
pkg install slim slim-themes<br>
<br>
sysrc slim_enable="YES"<br>
sysrc dbus_enable="YES"<br>
<br>
vi ~/.xinitrc<br>
exec wmaker<br>
<br>
restart, et. voila...<br>
login, use wmaker, exit, wait for the 10 seconds and beep, then back
to slim for another round.<br>
