Depnds on what you call multi-seat. I have a machine, that manages ~25 X-Displays. No, the X-Server runs on an X-Terminal (each with a Keyboard, Mouse and Sound) and then the Display Manager runs from the server. The XDMCP protocol is what is used. The X-Terms all boot from a tftp server that serves up the images they need to boot. All programs execute on the server, but display on the Local X-Server. No, no "accelerated displays". The X-Server on the server itself is a dummy. Reason I use Sid, Xorg does this better than XFree86. That is what I cal Multi-seat. How about we call it a truce. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
