XDMCP - Fedora 12 - KDM - Black screen on connection

[grep65535]

Linux 2.6.31.12-174.2.19.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP x86_64

I setup XDMCP:

/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?

the CHOOSER and BROADCAST should let your XDMCP viewer to show a message letting you choose the server you want to access. (That is if you connect Broadcast or Indirect.)
You type the name of your server (Indirect) and the screen goes black, because you are not allowed to get a login window.

You should also uncomment line 49 in Xaccess:
* # any host can get a login window

Just checked, got that uncommented as well.
