Here's how I did it on our Sparcs. Modify the xdm's Xsession and
Xresources files as follow:
Xresources:
==========
xlogin*login.translations: #override\
Ctrl<Key>R: abort-display()\n\
<Key>F1: set-session-argument(failsafe) finish-field()\n\
Ctrl<Key>Return: set-session-argument(failsafe) finish-field()\n\
Alt<Key>Return: set-session-argument(Fvwm95) finish-field()\n\
<Key>Return: set-session-argument() finish-field()
------ End ------
Xsession:
========
#!/bin/sh
# $XConsortium: Xsession,v 1.7 92/08/06 11:08:14 gildea Exp $
# environment variables that this shell script sets/changes:
export DISPLAY HELPPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export MANPATH NOSUNVIEW OPENWINHOME PATH XFILESEARCHPATH
export MOTIFHOME UIDPATH XMBINDDIR
export LANGUE LOGNAME
( many lines removed ... )
# Set default window manager
WM=mwm
case $# in
1)
case $1 in
failsafe)
exec xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0
;;
Fvwm95)
WM=fvwm95-2
esac
esac
startup=$HOME/.xinitrc
resources=$HOME/.Xresources
if [ -f $startup ]; then
exec /bin/sh $startup
else
if [ -f $resources ]; then
xrdb -load $resources
fi
xrdb -merge -nocpp $HOME/.OWdefaults
if [ -x $HOME/.openwin-init ]; then
$HOME/.openwin-init
fi
# Set background color
xsetroot -solid SteelBlue3
xterm -geometry 80x24+0+0 -ls -name "Login Shell" &
xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon
exec $WM
# exec olwm
fi
---------- End -----------
Bonne Journée
