Hi Eric, > I'm trying to start kdm by including the folllowing in /etc/ttys: > > ttyv7 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure > > kdm starts upon bootup, but I get an error on my console that says > [kdm_config]: unknown command line option 'ttyv7' Only a cosmetic problem. getty sends ttyv7 as additional command line parameter, when it starts kdm. It does the same for xdm, but xdm silently ignores this parameter, whereas kdm shouts, that it doesn't know what to do with it. The man page for xdm doesn't mention a tty parameter, so to kill the passing of this parameter must have been overlooked, when xdm changed it's needs. When I saw this first, I obviously forgot to file a PR. :-) Ciao Siegbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
