If you install things using UML Builder (as Matthias did), then it automatically installs Xnest as the X server, and makes it work right.

As does mkrootfs: if [ -f usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest ]; then cd etc/X11 $SUDO ln -sf ../../usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest X cd ../.. fi if [ -f etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf ]; then substline etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf '0=/usr/bin/X11/X' '0=/usr/bin/X11/Xnest -display xdisplay:0' fi Perhaps mandrake puts xnest somewhere else? Or etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf isn't being used to decide the X server? > The joys of automation :-) Agreed! :-) Cheers, - Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------------- First snow, then silence.
