I want to use XDMCP to have own DISPLAY and integration on the terminals (e.g. using $DISPLAY Variable to setup soundserver ...), login, ... With VNC I would have to start one Xserver on the server for each user, login management would be complicated and adding additional functions where I need access to environment varibales, etc. would become a problem. Additinally 3D-acceleration on the terminals would be impossible, which rocks fine with Nvidia GLX on XDMCP. So I want to use the complete Xserver-functions with XDMCP.
