hi, i start xdm as the last init script in runlevel 3 and i am presented with the login widget. first of all, is there a way to change this? i love the simple one debian provide, but on my 1024x768 screen, it fills up more than half - and i'd much rather have it be really small for optical reasons. can that be changed, and is is possible to change the background too?
my other and actually more important question relates to the weirdness that all of a sudden is happening to my x start. no matter what user, whenever i login using xdm, it takes *forever* (precisely 60 seconds actually) to start the first x client in the .xsession file. now 60 seconds can't be accidental, this must be related to some lookup thing or whatever, but my dns seems to work perfectly and i can't really think of much else... nscd is not installed. this is a new system and over the last 24 hours i have configured a lot. this just started randomly this morning and i don't know what i changed or did to make it happen. any ideas? martin [greetings from the heart of the sun]# echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@@.net -- the only real advantage to punk music is that nobody can whistle it.
