Description of problem: KDM ignores /etc/kde/kdm/Xservers file, and always starts X server Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Comment out local x server line in /etc/kde/kdm/Xservers, as specified in the documentation: #:0 local /usr/bin/X :0 2. Switch runlevel to 3, and then back to 5 Actual results: X server starts, and display tries to open Expected results: X server should not start. Additional info: I am following the established procedure for running XDMCP, headless. But this bug makes that impossible. Bug 452528 blocks the same functionality for GDM.

The component can be changed. :-)

Found this bug in the KDE bug tracking system, and it's tagged as WONTFIX. But I also found a workaround: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101163 So basically its the Documentation that is wrong, and the fact that a useless softlink is created in the /etc/kde/kdm directory. Put a blank in StaticServers, set ServerAttempts=0 , ServerCmd=/bin/true, and remove all X-:0- sections. For example: [General] ConfigVersion=2.3 ConsoleTTYs=tty2,tty3,tty4,tty5,tty6 PidFile=/var/run/kdm.pid ReserveServers=:1,:2,:3 ServerVTs=1 StaticServers= [Shutdown] BootManager=Grub HaltCmd=/sbin/poweroff RebootCmd=/sbin/reboot [X-*-Core] AllowShutdown=Root AutoReLogin=false ClientLogFile=.xsession-errors-%d Resources=/etc/X11/xdm/Xresources Session=/etc/kde/kdm/Xsession SessionsDirs=/usr/share/xsessions,/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/sessions Setup=/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 ServerAttempts=0 StartAttempts=0 ServerCmd=/bin/true [X-*-Greeter] AntiAliasing=true BackgroundCfg=/etc/kde/kdm/backgroundrc ColorScheme=ObsidianCoast EchoPasswd=true FaceSource=PreferUser FailFont=Abyssinica SIL,12,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0 FocusPasswd=true ForgingSeed=1108476160 GUIStyle= GreetFont=Abyssinica SIL,16,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0 GreetString=Fedora 11 (Leonidas) GreeterPos=50,50 Language=en_US LogoArea=Logo LogoPixmap=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/96x96/apps/fedora-logo-icon.png MaxShowUID=65530 MinShowUID=500 SelectedUsers= ShowUsers=NotHidden SortUsers=true StdFont=Abyssinica SIL,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0 Theme=/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/leonidas UseBackground=true UseTheme=true UserCompletion=true UserList=true [X-:*-Core] AllowShutdown=All NoPassEnable=false NoPassUsers= ServerArgsLocal=-br -nolisten tcp ServerTimeout=30 TerminateServer=true [X-:*-Greeter] DefaultUser=chymes FocusPasswd=true LoginMode=DefaultLocal PreselectUser=Previous #[X-:0-Core] #AutoLoginEnable=false #AutoLoginLocked=false #AutoLoginUser= [Xdmcp] Enable=true Willing=/etc/X11/xdm/Xwilling Xaccess=/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
So I guess the real bug is that kde-settings-kdm creates that unused Xservers symlink.
