- Hello,
-
- I have uploaded xdm.bin.tar.Z to tsx-11.mit.edu,
- it should appear in /pub/linux/binaries/usr.bin.X11 .
- It's a port of X display manager
- from the X11R5 distribution for linux 0.97pl2 or newer.
- IT DOES NOT RUN WITH LINUX 0.97 ( problems with file locking )
- It runs as daemon from /etc/rc
- and keeps the X system running all the time. login's and
- user sessions are managed on top of X.
- X11 1.1 or newer is needed for this. The binaries are
- linked `-static' with 2.2.2d libs and X11-1.1 libs.
- I will make shared executables when the new X11 2.0
- is out.
-
- xdm.bin.tar.Z contains binaries, configuration files
- a README.linux with installation steps,
- and a context diff listing against X11R5 sources.
-
- I am interested in hearing any success or problem stories concerning
- my `port' of xdm. ( please use email )
