The above sdb entry refers to /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup but there is also a Xsetup in /etc/X11/xdm in the 8.1 distribution.
Go to the very bottom of /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup.
all those are uncommented ! no change !
In /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup change line 154, /sbin/checkproc -p /var/run/kdm.pid /opt/kde3/bin/kdm && exit 0 to, ### /sbin/checkproc -p /var/run/kdm.pid /opt/kde3/bin/kdm && exit 0
Should get xconsole for you.
Nup. Been there, tried that, doesn't work, although once kde has started you _can_ get the xconsole running by launching it from the command line (using a command like the lines near the bottom of /etc/X11/xdm/Ssetup) but you have to set xhost +localhost first. It all got too messy for me so now I've just got an xterm launched from kde's autostart and running tail -f -n50 /var/log/warn. That's good enough for me 'cause all I really want to do is keep an eye on the naughty network scanners. Sometime I'm going to fire up a proper log analyser to give me the basic info (time, from who, what port) in a more readable form, does anyone have any suggestions about what I could use? -- Pam R: <Yet another cute tag line> Linux StepbyStep: http://www.linux-sxs.org/stepbystep.html
