Hi Stefan! Thank you for this excellent piece of information. Greets, Daniel Am Donnerstag, 5. Dezember 2002 18:06 schrieb Stefan Schlörholz:
Hello,
@Daniel, I also use SuSE 7.3 and I also do not have a button "start new session" and my system as updated yesterday with the most actual packages available for SuSE 7.3. Whenever the screensaver came up I was prompted by kdm for a new login. No matter if I was in KDE or on a ttyx session.
I posted the thread yesterday and as of early this morning Leendert posted a solution on this list which works perfectly. In case you did not get it here his words: ------- Edit /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers:
Put a comment mark (#) in front of the following lines: :1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt8 :2 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :2 vt9 :3 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :3 vt10 :4 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :4 vt11 :5 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :5 vt12
restart your X session, and wait for the screensaver... --------
@Leendert, thank you very much for your help. One more thing, where do people like you get these kind of information? I don't find literature on KDE and its internals and how to tweak them. As soon as you get beyond the basics (how to ove your mouse etc.) you quickkly end up in programming under KDE etc. There is nothing in between like information useful for the problem you solved for me and others. BTW I do not have an item in my KDE-menu saying "start new session" Is this in 3.0.5 as reported on several replies in this thread?
