Hi Oisin which X = /usr/11R6/bin/X which xdm = /usr/11R6/bin/xdm
As far as /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers and /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config, they are exactly as you said. I looked at Xaccess and Xresources, but the paths, etc. looked OK.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? [snip] Hi Art, just a couple of guesses here: xdm and kdm both need access permission to be given to the server. If you are concerned with local access (ie host and client running on same machine) then you should investigate the contents of your /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers (I presume that for kdm, which I don't use, you would s/xdm/kdm/ ). It should have a line at the bottom similar to: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X There is also a file /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config which should have as the last line: DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 Please note that if you are considering remote X terminal connections then you will have to comment out this line. Basically, the two most important files are the ones that I've listed above. There are two others: Xaccess and Xresources which should not be as important, but you may want to look at them. Let us know whether your xdm-config and Xservers files look similar to what I've outlined above. (I'm surprised that SuSE doesn't set this up though). Other things to consider are whether you have all the commands in your path, what do you get when you try: [art]$ which X [art]$ which xdm ? -Oisin _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
