You haven't really provided any useful details for someone to be able to diagnose your problem and perhaps offer help. xdm, gdm, and kdm all work well in Red Hat Linux 8.0. If you're having a problem, then your setup is likely different enough that it is causing something different to happen which isn't working out for you. Again though, you haven't provided any useful details, so we're not likely going to be able to help. >I'm going to switch distros shortly, partly because of this problem >(that and RH doesn't support KDE well, Perhaps in your opinion. Many others disagree greatly. I'm one of them. I use KDE as my primary desktop in Red Hat Linux, and find it works just fine. >and isn't as standards compliant as I'd like), Please tell us what specific standards you are refering to. I'd really like to know what exact standards you are refering to that Red Hat Linux does not comply to.

Or are you merely just assuming that there are modifications? >If there could be some information regarding this (i.e a work-around or >something) on the site, I'm sure it would help a lot of RH users who >want to upgrade XFree86. Again, you haven't mentioned any specific problem or provided any details, so nobody will be able to help you unfortunately. It may or may not be useful for you to know that xdm works perfectly fine for the rest of the Red Hat Linux using population, at least for people I know using xdm. -- Mike A.
