It sounds like you have a kiosk application that is using a terminal emulator, maybe xterm specifically for complete VT compatibility, and has no other interactive application. If that's the case and X proves hard to make work, I can suggest running a terminal emulator like the new generation of kmscon whose name I don't remember or Enlightenment's Terminology, as both run on top of KMS/DRM. No need for a display manager. If you combine it with a terminal locker, it should provide the solution you're looking for. If, however, you run more than xterm and need to spawn a few X apps now and then, this wont' work. Terminology is quite capable and might replace any image/video viewing needs you maybe have. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
