2016-02-02XDM: add a 'console' button for easy access to a console login session. Eric Hameleers1-2/+5
2015-12-24In XDM's Xresources file, try to handle varying screen sizes better. Eric Hameleers1-7/+7
2015-12-02Fix for the looping XDM when trying to start a Mate or Cinnamon X session. Eric Hameleers1-0/+3
Evidence in ~live/.xsession-errors: XDM authorization key matches an existing client! cinnamon-session: Cannot open display: . Rationale copied from the page where I found the fix - http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Re-ports-154502-x11-xdm-authorization-failure-when-used-with-E17-window-manager-td5819660.html The cause is that the implementation of XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 is broken if applications execve or unload/reload libX11/libxcb between connections to the X server. More information can be found in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486606 Since it is unclear whether XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 will be fixed and if so, where, I think it is best to disable it in xdm. It looks like adding --disable-xdm-auth to xdm's configure flags will do this but I have not tested it. I think the security impact is minimal; gdm does not use XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 either.
