Oops. I was wrong about that in my last message since prefdm launches the display manager which in turn launches a local X server. I think the easiest way to get kdm (as opposed to gdm or xdm) running is to have "KDE" in your /etc/sysconfig/desktop file. To get xdm to not launch a local X server, just comment out the ":0" line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. I'm pretty sure the default Red Hat installation of kdm also looks at that file. If it doesn't work, you'll have to look for the "Xservers" line in your kdmrc. -- Mike Ossmann, Tarantella/UNIX Engineer/Instructor Alternative Technology, Inc. http://www.alttech.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
