1 Hello,
2
3 In my effort to get a lightweight login manager, i have
4 decided to use slim. However, i m having couple of problems
5 with it:
6
7 1) ctrl-alt-bksp doesn't restart slim, kdm used to do it.
8 A solution to this says that we should respawn slim
9 on a VT in /etc/inittab. Does anybody know of another way?
10
11 2) another problem is that
12 /etc/init.d/xdm restart (or stop) doesn't work.
13
14 kill -9 works. How to patch the xdm script to achieve this
15 automatically? This problem is also mentioned in the following
16 bug:
