Please help with this problem: We just upgraded from ODT-2.0 to ODT-3.0. After this upgrade we have a problem with external Xterminals. These Xterminals consists of PC's running PC-Xware. Before we upgraded we could use the local (on the PC) Window Manager (Either NCD's wm or MS wm). After XDM connect to the SCO ODT computer and login via the SCO LOGIN window the normal scosession was run and the normal DeskTop would come up. The only special that had to be made was to start the local wm via rcmd from /usr/lib/X11/scologin/Xstartup. This looked like this: /usr/lib/X11/scologin/Xstartup (ODT-2.0): #!/bin/sh # File: /usr/lib/X11/scologin/Xstartup # # Changed: # Tue Dec 21 20:48:40 MEZ 1993 eks # # Xstartup # # This program is run as root after the user is verified # # Calculate pc = the hostname of the actual PC in question. pc=empty pc=`echo $DISPLAY | sed 's/:.*$//'` if [ $pc ]; then rcmd $pc wm > /dev/null; fi Now with ODT-3.0 this won't work at all. The only thing that happens after login via the SCO Login window is the SCO timeglass appears on the PC screen for 1/2 seccond and the the scosession is terminated. Here is what scosession writes out, if the local WindowManager is running on the Xterminal: 659 (slam:/usr/eks) eks $ scosession scosession: another (window) manager is already running. 660 (slam:/usr/eks) eks $ What can be the reason for that and what can I do to solve it ? How can I start my normal DeskTop without starting mwm ? Any help and hints are wellcome !
