Cool! I'll try that tonight. I wasn't sure if I needed to do something like that or whether to add 0:,1: or 0: 1: to another line (forget which one). Yes it is possible to do the autologin from kdm and it's not something I'm interested in trying. Although my wife would be very thankful for that and if she ever finds out, may ask me why I can't do that. She's constantly complaining about how there's just too many steps to do to do anything. One of these days I'll write her a bunch of scripts and add a gui frontend and place all her regular functions on the desktop for her, only a click away. Sheesh!

Thanks,

Brian

I'm running kdm and would like to know if anyone is running more than one desktop simultaneously?

Check the /etc/kdm/kde3/kdm/Xservers file. I have a line that says:

:0 local@tty1 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp vt7

My guess is that you would add a line just below it that says:

:1 local@tty2 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp vt8

Additionally, if you're not too concerned about physical security, you can put a section on the /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc line that will autologin your user on vt7 and your wife's user on vt8. I don't use kdm, so I don't know exactly how that would look, but the top of the kdmrc file looks like it is possible.

HTH,
