That's going to depend on the existence and/or contents of ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc. Peace. -- Karsten M.

According to the above document and the /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc file, I should find some files called /var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl-1 /var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl-2 /var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl-3 and by doing echo reserve 300 >>/var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl-1 I should get an X server with a KDM login box on virtual terminal 8. But there is no /var/run/xdmctl/ directory. There is a /var/lib/xdm/ directory, but it is empty. There is also a /var/lib/kdm/ directory, but all it contains is an authfiles subdirectory, containing a single file with a cryptic file name. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

There's also an /etc/kde3/kdm/ directory, where XDMCP listening has not been enabled. I guess this is the one that's actually used by the kdm I've installed? It contains a kdmrc file and an Xaccess file, but no kdm-config file. Are the settings in the kdm-config files no longer relevant? Or do they reside somewhere else?
