hmmmm I went and tried it... I saw all available servers as icons in a
box- despite only telling it to look for a single server. I'll look some
more

Hey, at least a got to SEE the Chooser window ;-)  I want to have the chooser come up with a list of available X servers, which should always be the localhost, and then either my school server or my home server.  As for the reply about the 'Xnest', really cool, I had tired it before, unfortunatly the laptop I run it one is 800x600, so the window is only 640x480 -- really hard to browse files/internet/etc.  If the laptop ran 1024x768, probably be a really good choice.  Thanks

I have a laptop that runs as a stand alone sometime, and other times as an X terminal with my desktop as my server, and other times as an X terminal with my K12LTSP server at school.  I have found that xdm has the ability to allow you to "choose" which one you log into, but I could not figure it out.  I have already gone through the mini-how-to, but could not get it to work.  I was hoping that someone out there could give me a little insight.

At least, that is how I understand the documentation for the chooser feature of xdm.  Am I understanding this right?
