Message-ID: <406AA2BA.7020209@arrakis.es> (raw)
Good morning,
Following is from /etc/inittab on a client running Slackware-9.0.
# These are the standard console login getties in multiuser mode:
c1:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
c2:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
c3:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
c4:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
c5:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
c7:12345:respawn:/usr/X11/bin/XFree86 -query 192.168.0.1 :1 vt08
The last line is added by me. Sure enough, I get a display on vt08 from
the server, which is running Mandrake-9.2. So far, so good. The two
things I cannot work out, however many times I re-read man inittab, are
1. How do I stop the local X system from giving me a login screen? (it
comes up on vt02)
2. Why have I not got any text consoles? (they are all just black with a
blinking cursor).
Thank-you all very much in advance,
Andrew
