I have been having significant problems with the chooser as well but AFAIK: > Setting > > * CHOOSER BROADCAST #any indirect host can get a chooser > > In /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess seems to have no effect in XDM.

Then, typing X <displaynumber> -indirect <any X server on your network> should make kdm or xdm bring up the chooser for you for that display e.g. X :1 -indirect localhost To bring up the chooser at startup, I guess, you will have to add the line "x:5:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -indirect localhost" just before the last line of /etc/inittab (mandrake 7.2), "x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon": No warranties, though! I have given up trying this anyway! George
