XDMCP - black screen with KDM on Fedora 12 - grep65535 - 2010-02-25
I've setup XDMCP on my fedora 12 laptop.
It uses KDM.
/etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc
[Xdmcp]
Enable=true
Willing=/etc/X11/xdm/Xwilling
Xaccess=/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
[security]
AllowRemoteRoot=true
DisallowTCP=false
/etc/kde/kdm/Xaccess (link to the xdm 'xaccess' file) includes:
* CHOOSER BROADCAST
In KDM settings I set it to 'no theme' and 'no custom background' so it's totally plain.
iptables & SELinux are both off. The client & server
are both on the same switch.
I can connect successfully. But all I get is a black screen & an X cursor, never get to see the login prompt. I have no idea why.
Any suggestions?

Nope
SELINUX=disabled is one of the first things I do on my home systems.

I setup XDMCP on my KDE box. When I try connecting with Xming & MobaXterm in windows, I can connect, the X window comes up but it's just black with an "X" mouse cursor.
When I try connecting from a *nix box I get the exact same thing.
