Ahh news...
2.0.97.1 stuff:
- Don't die on non-xinerama supporting display if compiled with xinerama lib
- First cut at a spec file for RedHat 6.x (may work on 7.0 as well maybe)
2.0.97 stuff:
- Graphical configurator in Foot/System/Gdm Confgiurator,
or run "gdmconfig" (Lee Mellabone)
- i18n and greeter/slave communication fixes (ChiDeok Hwang)
- int vs. bool mess fixed up in the configuration files
- Use the language from the LANG variable as the default and use
the one from gdm.conf as backup only
- Verbose authentication on by default and don't reveal information
on verbose authentication. I may remove this option altogether
- Slower quiver (looks cooler:)
- Reset on main process HUP signal by reexecing self
- Xinerama support for centering the login dialogs (Tim Jansen)
- Mucho fixes to loop of death stuff, race conditions and other such
fun things
- Translations, fixes etc...
(Kjartan Maraas, Gediminas Paulasukas, ChiDeok Hwang, Stanislav Visnovsky,
Valek Filippov, and maybe others)
2.0.96 stuff:
- Multiple local display stuff should now work
- Now autologs in only on the first display
- Bunch of fixes for XDMCP but that still doesn't work, I need
help here I think
- Local displays are now reset with SIGHUP rather then killed and
signals are set properly to begin with, this should actually help
with some buggy X servers I think.
- Login window can be moved (has a titlebar), and this position can be
set from the config file (not saved however)
- Bunch of cleanup and bugfixes
Open issues:
- XDMCP doesn't work
- Autologin and i18n is not working well (always in english apparently)
2.0.95 stuff:
- Autologin (AutomaticLogin key in [daemon] section of gdm.conf)
This is a string key that if it's set then gdm will log in that
user without prompting on the first time it runs a local server.
Will not autologin "root" though as that would be dumb.
- You can have your cursor anywhere while you log in, yay!
- [greeter]/BackgroundProgram thingie. A program that is run from
the greeter and killed when the greeter exists. useful for things
that do some cool graphics on the root window.
- If greeter keeps segfaulting, it will "unmanage" that display so that you
can actually log in on a console
- Slave process is actually forked
- Bugfixes galore
