For reasons totatly not related to xfs (stupid nvidia) my machine went
into a hardlock while I was editting my /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup file. I
rebooted the machine and when xdm came back up I noticed that it wasn't
configured the way I thought. Looking back at the file it was completely
full of nulls. I suppose it's important for me to say I was editting the
file in vim... 

I did a cvs co yesterday afternoon and am using 2.4.19-rc3-xfs. Other
system info:

I'll try to recreate the problem w/o the nvidia driver loaded and see
what happens.
