[comp.windows.x] xdm problems on xterminal reset

pierrot@tubopal.UUCP (Tatjana Heuser) (09/04/90)

I have set up xdm to control a NCD-Xterminal (sco Sys5).
On initial startup everything looks fine (except for that @!# terminal
popping up with its setup menu by default), but as soon as the Xterminal
is reset, xdm fails to recognize the server.
I guessed that xdm didn't know anything about the server dying and
tried to have xdm (in nodaemon mode) respawnd by init, but to no avail.
I'm sure, there must be lots of xterminals around working, so what am i
doing wrong?

following the entries:
/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers:
	ncdxterm:0 foreign

/usr/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config
	.
	.
	DisplayManager*daemonMode	false

/etc/inittab
	t01:2:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/xdm -nodaemon
