NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

gdmflexiserver GNOME options gdmflexiserver options

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

gdm(8), Xnest(1).
