Having managed to get xdm running on a SUN 3/50 running SUNOS 4.0 and X11R3, I note that console output (su notifications and the like) causes the screen to get hosed and one has to use xrefresh to fix things up. Under the old X10R4 system we ran console output appeared in your "login" window. Is there some way one can have console output appear in some sort of "console window" under X11R3 started up with xdm? Eugene D. Brooks III brooks@maddog.llnl.gov brooks@maddog.uucp

Console output will still go to the screen when xdm has its login prompting window up, but you can get rid of that hitting ^C to restart the window.

For example, the last line in my ".xsession" file starts up a console window with a login shell: exec xterm -title login -geometry 80x10+1+20 -rv -C -ls -- Russ Rew, Unidata Project russ@unidata.ucar.edu University Corporation for Atmospheric Research ...!ncar!unidata!russ PO Box 3000 Boulder, CO 80307
