Version: KDE 3.0.0 Installed from: RedHat RPMs Compiler: gcc-2.96-110 OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: redhat 7.3 I had attempted to run three different Xservers on my machine in order to allow multiple X logins at once. This worked fine under gdm however when I decided to switch to kdm this failed. Some of the problem appears to be because of a .pid problem. The original kdm instance places a .pid file in /var/run/. Other kdm instances which are trying to connect to different screens see this .pid file and refuse to run. Perhaps changing the .pid file to reflect the screen name could fix this? Another part of the problem appears to be that the original instance dies unexpectedly therfore no kdm instances not even the original :0 screen runs. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) |
