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
