I don't believe this will work. LTSP thin clients login to the server using xdm, so the server needs to run in runlevel 5. Despite much enthusiasm for kdm amoungs LTSP folk kdm has given me endless hastles, so this is how to do it with gdm: Server initdefault 5 edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf (redhat, else find it) [servers] # These are the standard servers. You can add as many you want here # and they will always be started. Each line must start with a unique # number and that will be the display number of that server. Usually just # the 0 server is used. 0=Standard vt5 1=Standard vt6 2=Standard vt7 3=Standard vt8 #1=Standard # Note the VTAllocation and FirstVT keys on linux. Don't add any vt<number> # arguments if VTAllocation is on, and set FirstVT to be the first vt # available that your gettys don't grab (gettys are usually dumb and grab # even a vt that has already been taken). Using 7 will work pretty much for # all linux distributions. VTAllocation is not currently implemented on # anything but linux since I don't own any non-linux systems. Feel free to # send patches. X servers will just not get any extra arguments then. Fiddle with the entries to run or not run X-servers on your server. You still get text sessions on <f1>..<whatever you've got in /etc/inittab> James ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
