Hmm, strange.

Try starting the xdm on the linuxbox with (from the console, not x and as root)

    xdm -nodaemon -debug 5

It should print a lot of debug messages. Maybe i can get an idea whats wrong.

Sorry my fault, the -engine switch is from the newest test release. (see
Harolds last announcement).        
You can discard the -engine and the number after it.

fine, but X on my notebook made some trouble.
