How can I disable bulletproof X?
Hi,
I use a manually created Xorg.conf file. However, bullet proof X tends to overwrite it if there's a problem with X on boot. KDM is set up to start X with a specific server layout, so bullet proof X doesn't work anyway. How can I disable bullet proof X?

Comment out the line that reads:
FailsafeXServe
In /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
This will disable the functionality.

Hi,
sorry, i forgot to mention I'm using KDE. Do you know how to do that in kdm? I grepped for those lines you gave me, but that didn't yield a result. In fact, there doesn't seem to be a related line in my kdmrc at all.

kdm does not support failsafeX so it is not enabled on kubuntu. If you have installed kde on a standard ubuntu install that might be a different story.
| Alan (mrintegrity) said : | #5 |
Do you have this file: /etc/kde3/
| laga (laga) said : | #6 |
No, this file does not exist.
Yes, this is a Ubuntu install where I manually installed kubuntu-desktop. I'm using KDM and not GDM. However, /etc/gdm still exists on my system with the following content:
factory-gdm.conf failsafeInstall gdm-cdd.conf gdmprefetchlist modules PreSession
failsafeBlacklist failsafeXinit gdm.conf Init PostLogin XKeepsCrashing
failsafeDexconf failsafeXServer gdm.conf-custom locale.conf PostSession Xsession
However, I don't think kdm would pick up a gdm config file. Or would it?

In order to give kubuntu users some sort of failsafex use they are maybe
still using displayconfig-gtk as the failsafe. I would comment out the
line in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf as I mentioned in my first response and see if
that solves the issue.
I bet it wouldn't happen if you had installed from kubuntu instead of
kde on ubuntu.

Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask laga for more information if necessary.
