configuring xdm on s10\open solaris
can someone hlpe me to use a X display manger to oepnsolaris
I'm using 79a & have setup XMING on a windows client
On the Solaris box I notice that XDM is not running, which i assume is essential for xming\client. I've read somewhere that to enable XDM i need to run gdmconfig so i've
# xhost+ ; DISPLAY=:0.0;export DISPLAY ; gdmsetup
I get back
"gnome display manager is running, using KDE or CDE(dtlogin) or xdm"
I'm confused..'dtlogin' is running, (gdm is not) but i'm clearly using Gnome, gnome games, java icon on the start menu, etc.
thanx in advance
