Re: [gdm-list] GDM Question

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

John:

To enable XDMCP, you need to run gdmsetup and make sure that in the
"Remote" tab that Style is set to "Themed" or "Same as Local".  Also
on the "Local" tab you need to check "Include Hostname Chooser (XDMCP)
menu item" under the "Menu Bar" section.

Some GDM themes may not have an XDMCP button in the theme.  You may need
to hit F10 to see the option.  If this is a problem, try a different 
theme.  The default ones that ship with GDM should work (such as circles
or happygnome or happygnome-list).

Some users have reported that the setting of "Deny TCP connections to
Xserver" affects XDMCP.  So if you have problems, you might try this.

Also note that GDM 2.20.0 and 2.20.1 had problems with XDMCP not
actually working properly.  I'd say that 2.20.2 and later should
work better.
