Login on XDM/KDM/GDM doesn't work properly

2006-06-17 Thread Alain M. Lafon
Hello List, My problem is that when I try to log in using a desktop manager like XDM/KDM/GDM some keys won't work while some others work just fine. When starting X11 using "startx" the problem won't occur. I put the Xorg log file and my xorg.conf file on my server. If anyone f

Here is a strange problem which I havn't gotten to the bottom of yet - maybe someone has seen something similar before... I did an 'apt-get update;apt-get upgrade' a few days ago, which resulted in a fairly modest set of module updates. Searching on the day and time concerned shows these as being

I've set up a VDR-box (http://freevo.sourceforge.net/) under Debian. I'd like the box to go directly into an X session upon booting, without having to fill in password and username in xdm. I know how to do this kdm/kde but running kde for that one feature seems like an awful waste. Ideas? alex

The only thing I can suggest is to check your Xservers file under /etc/X11/kdm or xdm. It should have only one uncommented line looking something like this :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt7 (could be slightly different) Jo > I have kdm kick up two login screens on vt7 and vt8 at boot up

I have kdm kick up two login screens on vt7 and vt8 at boot up. However, within 5 minutes of booting the screen switches from vt8 to vt7 and blacks out vt8. vt8 is still working fine, but I need to refresh the screen. This is a minor problem except that sometimes it causes my screen to lock caus

When an X server makes a broadcast XDMCP query, [x|k]dm responds and I get a login window, I log in, and the X server resets. And I don't see much in the way of [x|k]dm
