<br>
I just wanted to let you know that the headless function is now
working like a charm!<br>
<br>
There is one thing though: how can you quit the connection to the
XDMCP server and return to lightdm on the local machine, without
changing the configfile?<br>
<br>
Thanks again!<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Jeffery,
Sorry for the late reply
Glad to hear XDMCP is working well!
I think you just need to add the following to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf:
[LightDM]
start-default-seat=false
This will stop the default X server from being started.

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I'm currently testing the XDMCP functionality of LightDM which seems to work
flawless, however, there is one issue which I cannot resolve:
The machine I am using for my setup is a dedicated machine running some
VM's, these VM's don't have any graphics card associated and run headless
and the only form of command is via a web interface or SSH.
LightDM seems to use the /dev/fb0 device as graphics card, but that does not
exists on a VM.
My queston is, how can I use LightDM to run as a headless XDMCP server
without the need of a physical present graphics card? The configuration docs
did not shed any light on this usage.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Jeffrey Langerak
