Are you sure you're using xdm, and not using a gnome or kde desktop as fedora normally uses gnome?? If so, on calso, edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf ( or possibly /etc/gdm/custom.conf but I don't think so ), and in the [xdmcp] block change 'Enable=false' to 'Enable=true' Could you also check that the following line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess is not commented out... * CHOOSER BROADCAST hth, Steve
