to get xdm to work you need to edit /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config. these are the lines that i changed (shown are what i changed them to): DisplayManager.pidFile: /var/run/xdm.pid DisplayManager._0.startup: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xstartup DisplayManager._0.reset: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xreset the first line is probably a typo (it was xdm-pid). the other two are GiveConsole and TakeConsole which don't exist in the debian package (we have Xstartup and Xreset). with these changes xdm works for me. and this was discussed before. --alex-- -- | I believe the moment is at hand when, by a paranoiac and active | | advance of the mind, it will be possible (simultaneously with | | automatism and other passive states) to systematize confusion | | and thus to help to discredit completely the world of reality. | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
