Hi,
In your labserver, do you have a graphical login window at your labserver or
not ?
I don't want a graphical login, since I can't get anymore to the login
prompt via Ctrl Alt F1
In KDM, the config directory is /usr/local/share/config/kdm for kdm window
manager, there is no
Xservers file, and I can't see any file .. there are Xaccess, Xwilling,
Xstartup, Xreset, Xsession files
and a large kdmrc file. There are no man pages for kdm, kdm-bin, Xaccess,
etc...
I tried setting ServerCmd="" instead of ServerCmd=/usr/local/bin/X -br in
the kdmrc file ...
Now I only have /usr/local/bin/kdm-bin running, not /usr/local/bin/X
Am I right to believe the primary role of a local X server (local= on
labserver) is to have a graphical environment on that labserver machine ?
