When I log in with a non root user (init 5) in xdm, after entering my password and hitting enter, my monitor temporarily turns off as if switching resolution settings. Then it comes back to life at the graphical login window once again this time with the user/password fields empty.

I'd have to login with root to get beyond this point. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks...
