Also, I don't understand why initializing xdm in /etc/ttys doesn't work since by then init should have executed getty on the appropriate ttvs.
It *should* work. I'm not sure why it's not working, unless there are no free ttys for it to work on.
This probably doesn't help much, but I'm running xdm on my SMP system without any apparent trouble. I just turned the entry for XDM in '/etc/ttys' from off to on. Dual-PPro system, running 3.stable as of a little earlier this week. I built it JUST before the new XFree86 was released, so I don't have the latest XFree.
Me too.
I really, really think this is a hardware specific problem, at the I/O bus contention level.
I've run freebsd quite awhile without installing X. When I first installed and configured it, I tried to start it up by typing "X" instead of xdm. *That* locked up my system in a way that sounds somewhat like what is being suggested here. Typing at the keyboard did not do anything. I had to slogin from another machine, kill that X process, and then put my brain in gear to remember how I was SUPPOSED to startup X...
I never get lockups, but I am running an old Neptune-based dual P90 (it was quite something at the time I bought it to do FreeBSD SMP hacking using Jack Vogel's original SMP work from October of 1995).
I haven't done a lot with X on this system, but everything I've done has worked fine. I've rebooted it a few dozen times without it ever locking up.
As an experiment, really, really I/O load your system (I think that serial I/O might be the modet I/O bus intensive), and then bounce back and forth between the console in X and a text console, and see if things lock up.
