[coLinux-users] Setting up XDMCP

[Dave C. <dc...@do...>]

Hi,

Some time ago I had my Laptop stolen with a working CoLinux installation 
with Gentpoo [sorry, typo! but somehow it's appropriate!].

I have installed again and it is largely to my satisfaction except for 2 
issues

1. Every now and again I lose my internet connection.
2. I have been unable to get XDMCP working.

This is my configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*                                       #any host can get a login window
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DisplayManager.servers:         /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers

DisplayManager.willing:         /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xwilling
! All displays should use authorization, but we cannot be sure
! X terminals may not be configured that way, so they will require
! individual resource settings.
DisplayManager*authorize:       true
!
DisplayManager*chooser:         /usr/lib/X11/xdm/chooser
DisplayManager*startup:         /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xstartup
DisplayManager*session:         /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession
DisplayManager*reset:           /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xreset
DisplayManager*authComplain:    true
! The following three resources set up display :0 as the console.
DisplayManager._0.setup:        /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0
DisplayManager._0.startup:      /usr/lib/X11/xdm/GiveConsole
DisplayManager._0.reset:        /usr/lib/X11/xdm/TakeConsole

DisplayManager*loginmoveInterval:       10

! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests
! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm
! DisplayManager.requestPort:   0

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Xorg.0.log file in /var/log/ had the following (EE) elements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
which would indicate that colinux is trying to open the local display.

running

//netstat -a -n -p -u |grep 177

gives the following result:
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:177             0.0.0.0:*                           5896/gdm


Anyone got any suggestions?
