So you can not change X configurations while in GDM. One way to do it is: stop gdm (and thus stop X windows), alter your x config, then restart gdm. Another way is: start GDM, go to the console, alter your x config, go back to gdm, control-backspace (which restarts X windows and gdm) cheers, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal | debian.home.pipeline.com | | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: pgp.mit.edu | my NPO: cfsg.org |
