What happens when you try logging in on a virtual console? Whenever I have
a graphical login issue, I usually try it on a virtual console first, to see
if somehow I've messed up something inherient in logging in at all. If that
works, then I go to debugging my X login.
At UNO, we've had plenty problems with our experimental linux boxen, because
the guy who admins them doesn't always install Korn shell. Since thats the
default shell of CS students, they have problems logging in. I'm sure thats
not your problem, but its usually helpful to see if its a log in or X login
problem.

This didn't happen at first, but now I can only log in as root. This
message appears when I try as non-root: "Your session only lasted less than
10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there
is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace. Try
logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this
problem."
I looked at the .xsession-errors files for both logins and they were
mostly concerned with the dialup problems I have had with 9.0 (and with 8.0
on going back to it with one machine). If I use a wrong password I don't get
this message. I don't know what the "failsafe sessions" are.
One machine was getting into dialup with 8.0, stopped when I installed
9.0, and when I put 8.0 back in and copied all the etc files from the one
machine that will still connect with an ISP, it didn't help. I have a
feeling I have missed one little file somewhere.
