Please help...

I'm new to X and have just spent the better part of last month trying to
get sufficiently up to speed before installing it (X11R3.2) on my ISC-based 
system. 

I have put the command xdm command at the end of the startup file /etc/rc2.

The problem is that sometimes the system starts up, as defined by the contents
of the .Xsession file, and other times it simply bombs out. It appears like a
timing problem. Then, on the occasions when it works, on logging out, it takes
an age before I'm presented with the X-login screen.

Is there anything else obvious that I need to do?

Would some kind soul out there let mail me a copy of their .Xsession and 
.Xresources files, and any other files that may be useful, just to compare with
my own copies, please.

Thanks in advance for your help
