I want xdm to run, to service remote connections -- I just don't want a server on the console by default. I will start one with 'startx' or 'X -query localhost' if I need one. > Why you get different behaviour from xdm and start might be explained by > this: There's a script /etc/X11/Xsession that claims to be run by both > xdm and xinit (to which startx is a wrapper.)

I don't actually have either ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc, which is why I find this all the more strange. thanks, Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
