There have been discussions about the xdm entry /etc/ttys does not guarantee the X server being started on the particular vty. So I wrote a shell script to explicitly tell xdm to start X server on a specific vty. It's been working great. I'd like to share it with you, maybe we could include it in the base system. Here's the script (I call it xdmstart), it's very simple, #!/bin/sh case $1 in ttyv*) vt=vt`expr $1 : 'ttyv\(.*\)' + 1`;; *) vt=;; esac exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon -server ":0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 $vt" and in /etc/ttys replace the xdm line with ttyv3 "/usr/local/bin/xdmstart" xterm on secure There's one thing should be noted, the vtxx option isn't a standard X server option, but both XFree86 and Xig support it, so majority of the people should be covered. -lq To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
