Hi,

This is some additional information to a message I sent to the port-hp300@NetBSD.ORG mailing list. I have an HP9000/300 which runs the NetBSD 1.0 formal release. The X11 stuff is also the formal release. xdm runs fine but the X server has problems working when the -query or -indirect argument is supplied in the Xservers file or command line. So, ':0 local /usr/bin/X11/X' would work and ':0 local /usr/bin/X11/X -query <any hostname>' would not work. Also, I could not XDMCP query the local host using -query or -indirect.

The output from xdm with the debug level set to 1 when the X server tried to connect to it using -query is as follows:

DisplayManager.errorLogFile/DisplayManager.ErrorLogFile value
/usr/X11R5/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors

However, when I turn xdm off on the hp300 and run the command /usr/bin/X11/X :0 -ac' from the command line (this loads up the X server in no-query mode), then all other hosts running xdm with the line 'hp300:0 NETBSD foreign' in their Xservers file were successfully able to display an Xlogin window on the hp300.

Is this a bug?

Opinions are mine - we don't even use HP9000/300's at work.
