1) You're using the variables incorrectly. 2) This bug is filed against XFree86, and has nothing to do with the XFree86 package. This is not a bug. Please consult the appropriate Red Hat documentation for proper usage of the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file, and its variables. no, sorry, I am not using variables incorectly. put XDM in the DESKTOP="" field, do an init 3 && init 5, and you will see that it won't whange to XDM. See th e/etc/X11/prefdm script, and you will see that the varibale is called DISPLAYMANAGER and not DESKTOP, so it can't work. Change the variable name to DISPLAYMANAGER, and no problem fixed. ...but you are right, it doesn't concern XFree86 package, simply /etc/sysconfig/desktop is not owned by any package. $ rpm -qf /etc/X11/prefdm initscripts-6.67-1 and you ARE using the variables incorrectly. Read the documentation contained in the package. To explain a bit more, there are two variables, DESKTOP and DISPLAYMANAGER, which are orthogonal. |
