Bugzilla-Product: gdm Description: Please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=76339 for the original bug report. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2003-01-12 21:13 ------- Reassigning to the default owner of the component, jirka@5z.com.
Copying the text from the redhat bug report so it is easier to see here. Description of problem: when running gdmsetup, it is not possibly to specify the number of X servers started. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run gdmsetup 2. try to specify multiple X servers 3. Actual Results: can't find configuration option Expected Results: the ability to specify multiple X servers Additional info: this configuration option was there in the graphical gdm setup utility in RedHat 7.x. why remove it? in general: why have a less powerful graphical setup frontend then the configuration file allows? this is the exact notion people dislike graphical "user friendly" applications: it denies access to the possibilities of the system. of course one can set multiple servers by editing /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, but then what use is there to have a graphical setup tool?
