Hi Erwin Thanx for responding. No actually there is a bug in java such that if I want to use awt classes on Linux, I have to have X setup, but I don't want X , so they recommend a headless display setup. I just never use X since I love my command prompt! and pretty pointless to run X on a server that is only used as a server. Chris On Mon, 05 Jun 2000 15:40:26 +0200, Erwin de Beus wrote:

If you mean you want to run a server, with X-terminals, but without X on the console you have to edit /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers
Just comment out the line containing
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07
or something similar. You won't get X on the server machine now, but you can still login over the net using a X-terminal or Xserver software. You might also need to edit /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess to allow logins via the network. The above applies to both xdm and kdm login managers.
Regards, Erwin
