NO! Use the debian way. xdm automatically creates a log /var/log/xdm.log. I would assume kdm does something similar. If you really want to stop xdm/kdm us the init.d scripts to do it properly, i.e. '/etc/init.d/xdm stop'. If the log does already exist then just past that to the list. Recall that many of the driver for cards are written WITHOUT the help of the card manufacture so it is entirely possible that you may not be able to take advantage of all the card features. Although this is rapidly changing, with Nvidia, Diamond and others jumping in to provide specs or drivers. -- Brian Servis -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mechanical Engineering | Never criticize anybody until you Purdue University | have walked a mile in their shoes, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | because by that time you will be a http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis | mile away and have their shoes.
