The only change I can think of is I did a "set console serial".... and now
I can't start the xdm server.... I'm going to change it back tonight...

but is it possible to change the console to serial, and still run an xdm
server?

Here's the error it's giving me...
>xdm error (pid 16000): error 48 binding socket address 177
>
>Fatal server error:
>Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already

>xdm error (pid 16000): server unexpectedly died

(also, when I changed to set console serial, the serial term worked ok...
but constant messages saying "getty: cannot open "/dev/tty00". errno: 6")

Thanks!
Dan
