Is there a size limit to posts ? My earlier reply to this did not appear at all ! It was maybe a little too detailed ? Or it landed only in Derek Dresser's inbox and he decided it was too much ? I did get over the xdm problem by adding x:5:respawn:etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon to the /etc/inittab file in that specific instance. In other installations I think the other display managers manage it. I also notice that there is a service called 'dm' running in Mandrake 9.And there is no x:5:respawn:etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon in the /etc/inittab file. If it is there from an upgrade from a earlier version then it is commented out. The problem I am facing is that if there is a change in the client side video hardware then X may not work. If the monitor changes I have trouble. I have one installation running a Mandrake 9 & LTSP install where client video graphics controller is a VIATEC VT8361/VT8601 and monitor a Samsung/Samtron 55v. In another I have the same excepting that the monitor is Samsung/Samtron 45Bn. This change results in some video problem. Monitor just blinks (power and signal indicator). I am able to connect in non-graphical mode though. Is it necessary to have identical node video hardware config for X to work consistently ? With different video hardware am I likely to run into trouble ? Ashraf
