[servers] 0=Standard [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 -audit 0 flexible=true with this config, 'ps aux' reports /usr/bin/X11/X :0 -dpi 100 -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7 as command for X. I had to remove the ':0' as this gets added automatically. Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
