I don't want a graphical login, since I can't get anymore to the login prompt via Ctrl Alt F1 In KDM, the config directory is /usr/local/share/config/kdm for kdm window manager, there is no Xservers file, and I can't see any file .. there are Xaccess, Xwilling, Xstartup, Xreset, Xsession files and a large kdmrc file. There are no man pages for kdm, kdm-bin, Xaccess, etc... I tried setting ServerCmd=3D"" instead of ServerCmd=3D/usr/local/bin/X -br= in the kdmrc file ... Now I only have /usr/local/bin/kdm-bin running, not /usr/local/bin/X Am I right to believe the primary role of a local X server (local=3D on labserver) is to have a graphical environment on that labserver machine ? 2011/10/6 Manolis Kiagias > On 5/10/2011 1:33 =EC=EC, n dhert wrote: > >> FreeBSD-8.2 with Xorg: >> Is there a way one can specify that your never have X on the console (ju= st >> the login: prompt) >> but still have X on any other X-windows termnal (an KDM login window) an= d >> graphical environment >> > > I've got a lab that uses XDMCP and X-terminals and I don't run X on the > server.
