For those playing with accelX here is a brief summary of what it
does....(note this is by no means an all inclusive list - just the things
I've noticed)
-> replaces the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config (which was
originally a symlink to /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config in debian)
-> replaces the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc (which was
originally a symlink to /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc)
-> replaces the file /usr/X11R6/bin/X (which is usually a symlink in most
distributions - but not debian. It is best to put the debian file back
here and change /etc/X11/Xserver to reference /usr/X11R6/bin/Xaccel - then
your Xaccel does not need to be setuid)
-> replaces some files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults (such as XTerm)
-> I think it may also replace some apps (like xterm)
These will stuff up xdm, and your normal X configuration. I found that
when I undid these changes it worked fine.
cheers,
Chris.
