Re: [gdm-list] Starting gdm without local display.

[Jason Kim <jason userful com>]

I've setup a terminal server and it's working by enabling XDMCP in the
gdm configuration, but GDM keeps starting a local X server on the
server.  I don't want the X server to run on the terminal server. 

I've noticed "--no-console" command option is not supported any more.
Any chance to put it in back?  

Thanks, 
Jason
