The grey background with the X is the X server in the "default" state. You can end up with this for any number of reasons. Since you're trying to get XDMCP to work here, run xdm/kdm on the SuSE box in debug mode and check the logs. Are you getting any connections from your Windows box at all? Also try to tcpdump at the SuSE box, "tcpdump -i eth0 -l udp port xdmcp" or something. -- Daniel Mikkelsen Copyleft Software AS
