A server marked as reserve is not started at KDM's startup time, >> but when the user explicitly requests it. See "Command FiFos" below. According to the above document and the /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc file, I should find some files called /var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl-1 /var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl-2 /var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl-3 and by doing echo reserve 300 >>/var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl-1 I should get an X server with a KDM login box on virtual terminal 8. But there is no /var/run/xdmctl/ directory. There is a /var/lib/xdm/ directory, but it is empty. There is also a /var/lib/kdm/ directory, but all it contains is an authfiles subdirectory, containing a single file with a cryptic file name. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
