[XFree86] xdm question

2003-02-06 Thread Pacho Baratta



i'm building a 
customized kiosk for a project and i must solve a problem.i have 600 pc with 
64 Mb ram, so i'm implementing very basilar desktop withfluxbox, and i need 
xdm at start to give the chance to choose the user in avery simple way. it 
works fine, but something i still need to fix.when i launch xdm, and then 
mozilla, i noticed very bad performance. thepoint is that when i do "ps -e" 
i see this 
output:."xdm""xdm""xdm""xdm""xdm""mozilla-bin""mozilla-bin""mozilla-bin""mozilla-bin""mozilla-bin"..five 
instances of mozilla running means wasting about 50 Mb of ram, too muchfor 
my machines...so the question is: what should i change to stop all these 
instances ofxdm/mozilla.i tought it's cause xdm and so mozilla get all 6 
virtual screen so i changed/etc/inittab to stop all tty except tty1 and i 
got only 1 session of xdmrunning; but still 5 sessions of 
mozilla..any suggestion?regards,

 i'm building a customized kiosk for a project and i must solve a problem.

 fluxbox, and i need xdm at start to give the chance to choose the user in a
 very simple way. it works fine, but something i still need to fix.
 when i launch xdm, and then mozilla, i noticed very bad performance. the
 point is that when i do ps -e i see this output:
First and foremost, have you considered dropping mozilla proper in favor
of one of the much smaller and lighter mozilla-cousins such as Phoenix?

As to why mozilla is launching 5 copies of itself, that doesn't make much
sense. How are you launching mozilla? Via .xsession? If so, what does this
look like? Is your window manager doing it?
