Ummm...well, I use xdm on one of my machines :) I didn't get sucked into the gnome or kde worlds on that computer. That said, similar to hardware, X11 coverage has dwindled in general. There's now only two X11 related objectives: - install X11 - configure *dm Each has a weight of two (2) so there will only be two (2) questions on each topic. Besides, the xdm-config file is really an Xresources file. If you learn that, you will have learned Xresources, too. You can't say the same about the gdm.conf file. It's actually a little sad for me. Earlier in my career I worked for HP porting X11, Motif and CDE to their Xterminals. Plus some other X11 development (add-ons to Tcl/Tk, for example). The source code was horrific but there were some gems in there. And X11 is a fairly cool technology under the hood. However, more and more, I'm finding that a lot of people don't really understand how it works. Anyway, I'll stop before I start mentioning young'uns or something ;) Regards, --matt > Perhaps it's my limited knowledge but I do not know any case of people > using XDM to setup a display manager.
