Oh, and /etc/conf.d/xdm exists: ke...@kermod ~ $ cat xdm-090708a # We always try and start X on a static VT. The various DMs normally default # to using VT7. If you wish to use the xdm init script, then you should ensure # that the VT checked is the same VT your DM wants to use. We do this check to # ensure that you have't accidently configured something to run on the VT # in your /etc/inittab file so that you don't get a dead keyboard. CHECKVT=7 # What display manager do you use ? [ xdm | gdm | kdm | kdm-3.5 | kdm-4.0 | gpe | entrance ] # NOTE: If this is set in /etc/rc.conf, that setting will override this one. # KDE-specific note: kdm-3.5 and kdm-4.0 are just examples. You will find all # possible versions by looking at the directories in /usr/kde/. DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm" ke...@kermod ~ $ I've tried changing the DISPLAYMANAGER to kde, and I get different symptoms. This gets complicated, so I'm just reporting here what I started with. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
