I made my box partly with "cd instant-workstation; make install clean" and have now installed: XFree86-4.2.0_1,1 XFree86-FontServer-4.2.0 XFree86-Server-4.2.0_2 XFree86-clients-4.2.0_2 and kde-3.0_1 With kdm for the login screen, I got strange output with "w" or "who" (TTY name unreadable - e.g. "wall" doesn't work anymore), but that program at least left some trace in wtmp. When I switched "back" to xdm, it all got worse: now I have no "w"/"who" output at all, and absolutely no trace in wtmp. Can someone please tell me what settings I need to change to get these programs back to work? Thanks in advance. k.j.
