(Sounds like Microsoft windows doesn't it?) I can supply more info to the maintainer if needed. Expected behavior: XDM should exit with a non-zero status and pass the diagnostics from the X server to the console or print the name of the log file the diagnostics were written to. Procedure to reproduce: Change the VertRefresh to 2--50 in the X config file. This will introduce a syntax error that causes the X server to fail.
