You're probably missing a nested x server, just as the error message says. Try installing xserver-xephyr. (This is a suggested package by gdm). In the future you should be able to use xephyr or xnest, but at the moment this is set during build time, and only with xserver-xephyr. This will probably be handled by a wrapper script later. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
