Well, I don't want to add a dysfunctional file in the tarball (what if
some port does a "test -x X"?) so I just added X and the default
destination of the link (XF86_SVGA).

 Hmm.  So kdm looks at the X symlink to decide whether to build with X
 support or not?
 
 I can add that to my X package, but what exactly do I need?  Just the
 symlink (to nowhere), or do I need it to be pointing to one of the
 servers?  (Or even an empty file with that name?)

Thank you. :)

KDE kdm problem with packaged version (make release issue?)

[Nick Sayer]

For a long time I have noticed that when I build kdm from the kdebase
port, it works.
But if I used packages off either the CDs or ftp sites, it doesn't work.
Specifically if I
do a 'strings' on the binary and grep for /, some of the paths I see
have XBINDIR
rather than explicit references to /usr/X11R6/bin. I am not enough a
ports guru to
grok what is to be done, but before the freeze maybe someone could look
into it?
Another suggestion is that two patches to the xdm config files be made
at the time
that kdebase is installed -- One needs to add a call to kdmdesktop to
Xsetup_0,
and one needs to add

kde)
exec /usr/local/bin/startkde
;;

right above the failsafe case in Xsession. If the port doesn't make
these two patches itself
at install time, it might at least _suggest_ them to the user, IMHO.
