Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
This is what I use to start kde on boot. |
4 |
|
5 |
I let the xdm startup script launch kdm for me. |
6 |
|
7 |
localhost ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/xdm |
8 |
# Tell X to always start on VT7. Otherwise it autodetects the first available |
9 |
# VT, which means it has to wait until all gettys are started so it doesn't |
10 |
suck |
11 |
# up a VT that should have had a login prompt (very slow). |
12 |
# If XSTATICVT is on, the login manager will start as soon as possible during |
13 |
# the boot process. If you want X to dynamically start on the first unoccupied |
14 |
# VT after all gettys have started and you are using xdm, also remove |
15 |
the "vt7" |
16 |
# from /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. |
17 |
XSTATICVT="yes" |
18 |
|
19 |
# What display manager do you use ? [ xdm | gdm | kdm | entrance ] |
20 |
# NOTE: If this is set in /etc/rc.conf, that setting will override this one. |
21 |
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" |
22 |
|
23 |
The XSESSION variable in /etc/rc.conf is commented. |
24 |
|
25 |
I then have xdm start in the default runlevel. |
26 |
|
27 |
localhost ~ # rc-update show default |
28 |
... |
29 |
xdm | default |
30 |
|
31 |
to add use 'rc-update add xdm default' as root |
32 |
|
33 |
localhost ~ # rc-update add xdm default |
34 |
|
35 |
I also have this session script in /etc/X11/Sessions: |
36 |
|
37 |
localhost ~ # cat /etc/X11/Sessions/kde-3.5 |
38 |
#!/bin/sh |
39 |
exec /usr/kde/3.5/bin/startkde |
40 |
|
41 |
Hope this helps, |
42 |
Craig |
