Hi,
We are basically a Windows and UNIX shop but we do have one Linux machine to play around with. Since I'm the one with Linux experience, I was chosen to get the system up and running. I originally installed RHEL 4 last year on this Dell desktop and all worked just fine. Our IT department gives us Windows PCs with Hummingbird Exceed. Exceed is essentially a X server that runs on the PC. With other tools in Exceed, I can start an X terminal on a *nix machine and have it display on my Windows desktop. I can also run a remote desktop. This is what I do to access the RedHat Linux system from my PC. Under RHEL4 all worked fine. No problems at all. A short while ago, after a catastrophic disk failure, I installed RHEL5. I can still access the system from my Windows machine using Exceed. However, when I log off of the remote desktop, GDM on the RHEL5 box attempts to start another X server on the console of the RHEL box itself. That fails and leaves a message on the console because a X server is already running there. I've reported this to RedHat support but they are unable to recreate the problem. They requested that I upgrade my copy of Exceed, which I had our IT department do. I went from version 7 to version 12. The problem still exists. I've been unsuccessful in finding any other reports of this problem via Google. So, I'm sending a note to this list to see if anyone else has seen this problem and possibly has a solution. Next, I attempt to contact Hummingbird to see if they can help. Thanks for any help, and let me know if additional info is needed.
