Has anybody set up an RS/6000 console so that the X-server is running at all times, with a login screen running under it? That sure would be a nice feature, since that way the X screen saver could be running between login sessions. If anybody has such a setup, I would greatly appreciate knowing how it was done. Many thanks.

Anyone with the X11R4 libraries attempt a port yet? +-----All Views Expressed Are My Own And Are Not Necessarily Shared By------+ +------------------------------My Employer----------------------------------+ + Ronald S.

Yeah, I did... works too... but being a hack and slash type person, I'll have to go back and
see how I did it. I'll get back later with the info if no one else posts.
