    Graphical screen logs out right after logging in

    Hello,

    I'm having a problem where when we log in to the graphical screen it logs in and the background loads and the desktop icons load, but then it kicks back out to the login screen again.

    I checked the .xsession-errors for the user that logged in and this is what it says:

    Code:
    who: Warning: the meaning of '-l' will change in a future release to conform to
POSIX
stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device
stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device
IceWM: using /home/zlink/.icewm for private configuration files
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).^M
Communication between daemon and interface manager has broken down.
Gdk-ERROR **: X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).^M
Communication between daemon and interface manager has broken down.
    I've tried googling all these errors without finding anything.

    I'm able to log in as other users, so it sounds like it might just be something with a setting or some user specific config.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Are there lock files that could be causing this?

    check

    your X log
    Code:
    cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i EE
    and report back
    All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you, but let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer. All New Users Read This!!! If you have a grub problem please look at GRUB MANUAL

    2 things:

    1) what window manager are you using? Is it icewm?

    2) did you run the command I gave you exactly with the "|" and everything after. Because it doesn't appear that way.
    All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you, but let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer. All New Users Read This!!! If you have a grub problem please look at GRUB MANUAL

    Yep, IceWM is correct.

    I don't have an Xorg.0.log, only an XFree86.0.log, which is what I gave using the command you gave me. Should I be using something other than:

    Code:
    cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log | grep -i EE
    After comparing the XFree86.0.log between a working system and the trouble system I've found the following is different between the two:

    Code:
    *(WW) (1280x1024,Monitor0) mode clock 108MHz exceeds DDC maximum 80MHz
(WW) (1280x1024,Monitor0) mode clock 135MHz exceeds DDC maximum 80MHz
(WW) (1280x1024,Monitor0) mode clock 157.5MHz exceeds DDC maximum 80MHz
        GreenMaskSize: 8
        GreenFieldPosition: 8
        LinGreenMaskSize: 8
        LinGreenFieldPosition: 8
*(WW) (1600x1200,Monitor0) mode clock 162MHz exceeds DDC maximum 80MHz
(WW) (1600x1200,Monitor0) mode clock 175.5MHz exceeds DDC maximum 80MHz
(WW) (1600x1200,Monitor0) mode clock 189MHz exceeds DDC maximum 80MHz
(WW) (1600x1200,Monitor0) mode clock 202.5MHz exceeds DDC maximum 80MHz
(WW) (1600x1200,Monitor0) mode clock 229.5MHz exceeds DDC maximum 80MHz
        GreenMaskSize: 8
        GreenFieldPosition: 8
        LinGreenMaskSize: 8
        LinGreenFieldPosition: 8
*(WW) (1920x1440,Monitor0) mode clock 234MHz exceeds DDC maximum 80MHz
(WW) (1920x1440,Monitor0) mode clock 297MHz exceeds DDC maximum 80MHz
(WW) (1920x1440,Monitor0) mode clock 341.35MHz exceeds DDC maximum 80MHz
        GreenMaskSize: 8
        GreenFieldPosition: 8
        LinGreenMaskSize: 8
        LinGreenFieldPosition: 8
(WW) (1024x768,Monitor0) mode clock 94.5MHz exceeds DDC maximum 80MHz
    I don't know why it's trying any resolution higher than 1024x768 since the modes in the /etc/X11/XF86Config have the following:

    Code:
    Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     16
                Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection
    Any ideas?
