Athena Sun Ultra 5 workstation indium.mit.edu,in room 8-419 is unable to
complete booting due to an error initalizing X windows, and falls back
to the console login. 
This has been a continuing problem with this workstation, with this
issue occuring a handful of times each year. 

The boot process shows the following error:
dm: X failed to become ready
dm: X failed to become ready

Unable to start X, doing console login instead.  

Login:

Please reply to molecan@mit.edu when the issue is resolved. 

Thanks, 
Coleman Greene
