Hello Debian-users, I am a Debian/Linux newbie. However, I do have hamm running well on my computer now. I use Xfree 3.3.3 to make my Matrox card work and XFCE/ with XFWM as windows manager.
I was using startx to log in to accounts, but now I want to use XDM. I changed to runlevel 5 and added a "1" in the xdm file there to make XDM start my login routine. Is this the way to activate XDM? I have two problems: 1. I do not seem to have a path set in my root account. Where am I to give the path when using XDM, and how do I set different paths for root and other accounts? 2. I have xscreensaver set to run in my xsession files (infact, I just copied what I had in my xinitrc files into my xsession files). When I log in as root I get this error message regarding xscreensaver: .xsession-errors OddBird:~# xscreensaver Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server Error: Can't open display: :0.0 OddBird:~# This does not happen when I log in to a user account. Why is this? To be honest, I do find the whole concept of XDM to be hard to grasp even after having read the documentation I have been able to find.
