Aug 18 20:18:59 3B:IRIS1 Xsession: kramer: Session "/var/X11/xdm/Xsession" execution failed (err 13)

Same problem. You cannot access the Xsession script. BTW, the tfxd logs is from teleffect which is a service for sharing keyboard and mouse between several windows and IRIX systems. It's superseded by Synergy and VNC/rdesktop-like services.

I'm starting to think the IRIX system installation is incomplete or it has been altered by someone. Can you check for access to the Xsession file via:

Code:

ls -l /var/X11/xdm/Xsession

If not, i would like to see the output of

Code:

chkconfig
