hello, regularly when updates of the X system are made, my Laptop looses his X server, because a strange little Program replaces the link i am used to set on it (/usr/X11R6/bin/X is, as an old Slackware user a link to the right server), furher i use a server that comes from the redhat distribution since it is a neomagic chipset....
i looked at the update-* admin progs, but didn't find one for the X system, so how is this supposed to work normally? BTW other question: i am setting this laptop for my sister (a computer-phobiac...) nad wanted ot have a faces-xdm, took the one from kde, but the thingie refuses to store the list of allowed users i try to learn it: after each reboot of the system this list is erased and all (junk-)users appear once more. Furhter the size of this is way too enourmous, where can i resize it(didn't find its ressources...)? Ans another one on the same theme: what variable does kdm set to be able to choose the windowmanager? ciao bboett ============================================================== acount at earthling net http://erm6.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett =============================================================== Unsolicited commercial email is NOT welcome at this email address To contact me replace acount by bboett in above addresses
