a couple of possibilities: 1. telnet or ssh into the box and as root, do a "ps ax |grep dm", notice the command options listed, kill the display manager (gdm, kdm, mdkkdm, whatever) and restart it as it was listed in the ps output.
2. from your remote login try running the displaymanager command with the --restart option (gdm --restart, kdm --restart, etc.), or possibliy with a single dash. see if there is a manpage for the dm that will list the options, or a --help option. the problem with this - if you're logged into an X session you'll probably get blown away when the dm restarts and if it doesn't work, you're SOL. there are probably many other ways that someone else can enlighten us all on *s* --- Original Message --- From: Alan Wilter Sousa da Silva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] kbd and X lock and crash > >Hi List! > >We have a computer with MDK 9.1 which can be accessed via xdmcp (server).= >=20=20 >Now its kbd is locked, X crashed but we still can access it via xdmcp.
