Hello, managers
This morning I got a strange X bahavior in one of our Alphas:
DEC 3000/800
DU 3.2
128MB RAM
PMAG-D (PXG) graphics card
When I try to start xdm (/sbin/init.d/xdm start), the cursor moves into
the screen from bottom to top some times and I come back to the shell
prompt. I found the following messages in /var/X11/xdm/xdm-errors:

What is the meaning of the "No space left on device"? I have lots of free
disk and swap space!
We do not use DECnet, just TCP/IP.
