I'm running DN3500 SR10.1 (waiting for SR10.3; I know the bugs I have now and that SR10.2 will give some different ones. Maybe SR10.3 will fix most in both :-) ) and an MIT distribution of X11R4, running xdm out of /etc/rc. No problems when it comes to interference with DM; apart from the TCP/IP code dies once in a while. Only reboot cures that one ! -- ORIGIN '~jnp/stdDisclaimers'; [[--- Regards, J|rgen N|rgaard ('|' is '\o{}' in \LaTeX{}) | | e-mail: jnp@tele.nokia.fi || Telephone: <..>-358-0-511-5671 | | mail: Nokia Telecommunications, PL 33, SF-02601 Espoo Finland ---]]
