I have a similar problem. This is with a SuSE 8.2 installation. I had 
Mandrake 9.1 installed before and managed to get XDMCP working. Can't 
get it working with SuSE however and I'm pulling my hair out!

I have nothing in my /var/log/messages nor /var/log/kdm.log files. I'm 
using:

$ xwin -query sonslinux -from adefaria

X comes up but no login dialog box. XWin.log is attached.

Any help would be appreciated.
