I have done this with xdm, gdm and kdm. All are a mess. kdm is probably
the worst. I use it by preference (for other reasons it's the best for me),
and get all-crossed-up say once a month.
I'm running SuSE 9.2 so YMMV
inittab has nothing about X in it
/etc/init.d/xdm starts the X server
kdmrc allows remote connections (ltsp clients)
allows 4 console sessions
(kdmrc is documented, where/how to start extra servers)
the lts.conf for one of the ltsp-clients is:
[saunders]
SERVER = "192.168.1.254"
SCREEN_01 = "startx -ac -query 192.168.1.254 :0"
SCREEN_02 = "startx -ac -query 192.168.1.254 :1"
SCREEN_03 = "startx -ac -query 192.168.1.254 :2"
SCREEN_04 = "startx -ac -query 192.168.1.254 :3"
# SCREEN_01 = "shell"
X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL = "IMPS/2"
X_MOUSE_DEVICE = "/dev/input/mice"
XSERVER = "auto"
X_MODE_0 = "1280x1024"
X_VERTREFRESH = "59 - 63"
X_HORZSYNC = "30 - 90"
DISABLE_ACCESS_CONTROL = "Y"
PRINTER_0_DEVICE = /dev/lp0
PRINTER_0_TYPE = P
putting 'respawn' entries in inittab can bite.
I think that this is wrong! It ahould be in kdmrc or gdm config file
