Hello all,

I have been getting messages when kdm starts up, here they are:

<snip>
> Jul 10 02:49:12 diabloii kdm[24204]: Can't lock pid file /var/run/kdm.pid,
another xdm is running (pid 146)
> Jul 10 02:49:12 diabloii init: getty repeating too quickly on port
/dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs
> Jul 10 02:49:42 diabloii kdm_config[24206]: Unknown command line option
'ttyv8'

<snip>

I don't know if this is related to Mr. Lentfer's problems or not. KDM and
XDM seem to work fine on my PWS 500au, but I get these messages when KDM
starts. Has anyone seen these before?

Subject: xdm and kdm core dump


Hi all,

I am trying to set up a graphical login on my PWS 500a. I've tried xdm, 
kdm/kde2 (both core dump if called from ttys AND command line). Gdm 
seems to work. Gdm2 only works if started from command line, acts very 
strange when started from ttys. Am I missing something? I Always thought 
that usually xdm is the one with the highest chance to work. Are the 
others I could try? But actually I really would like to have kdm 
working. I can't remember to have these problems when setting up X on a 
x86 machine, so I guess this is Alpha-specific?

Regards,

Jan
