NAME

gdmflexiserver − start a GDM session using the GDM flexible server mechanism, or in Xnest

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The flexi server mechanism allows to run GDM sessions on demand, in a new virtual console. The administrator can define multiple server configurations, using alternate X servers, or different options, in the gdm.conf file, and gdmflexiserver will present you with a menu, where you will be asked to choose between those server configurations marked with flexible=true.

Alternatively, the −−xnest option allows you to run a new session in an Xnest(1) window.

OPTIONS

In addition to the common Gtk and GNOME options, gdmflexiserver accepts the following options:
−c command, −−command=command

Send the specified protocol command to gdm

−n, −−xnest

Xnest mode

−l, −−no−lock

Do not lock current screen

−d, −−debug

Debugging output

−a, −−authenticate

Authenticate before running −−command

SEE ALSO
