;-) Yeah, well, it is beautiful, but being pretty is not the main job of a DM. And if it gives you a hard time just trying to make it log you into your preferred desktop (which is its purpose), then all beauty is irrelevant, IMHO. Have you looked at the README in the CVS tree as I suggested earlier? I attached it below, hope it helps. Alas, I think that's it for me in this thread. Best, Nick. entrance README: Introduction ------------ Entrance (v.) 1. To put into a trance. 2. To fill with delight, wonder, or enchantment. Entrance is a login/display manager for UNIX X11 displays. It is designed to be extremely customizable and aesthetically attractive -- a refreshing relief from the traditional dull and boring interfaces of XDM and its descendants. Compiling & Installing ---------------------- To compile, you need the following libraries (if you're using a package-based system, be sure to install the devel packages): - Evas - Ecore - Edje - Esmart - PAM (optional) Then, type: > ./autogen.sh > make > su -c 'make install' Usage ----- To start an X session using Entrance, just type 'entranced' at the prompt. Entrance also works well with initscripts, so you can modify /etc/X11/prefdm or /etc/init.d/dm to launch entranced. A startup script (etc/init.d/entrance) is also installed for your convenience. For those who would like to see what Entrance looks like before using it to start sessions, run "entrance --test". This will launch entrance in a window (800x600 by default), and xterm will be executed instead of the selected session. For more information type entrance --help. WARNING: Do not attempt to launch entranced from an existing X session. It will cause all sorts of havoc and may even blow a hole in the back of your monitor. Run "entrance" instead. To set up your sessions, edit the build_config.sh script in the data/config directory before compiling to specify the names of the X sessions on your machine. After installation, you will need to directly edit /etc/entrace_config.cfg using an ecore_config editor like ecore_config. The default sessions are designed to work on a Debian 3.0 installation, so you will likely need to update your db before Entrance can work for you. While adding sessions, please note that: - A session without a path is assumed to be an Xsession name, and will be launched using Xsession. Otherwise, the specific path will be executed (this is useful for those of you using E17, for example). - The Failsafe session should be left as is (with "failsafe" as path) - You do not need to add a default session; that is added automatically. - You need to update the session count entry before you finish. PAM is recommended for authentication. If you are compiling for a system that does not have PAM support, configure should automatically set your config settings appropriately so that crypt/shadow authentication is used instead. If you wish to manually set the authentication method, edit the /entrance/auth entry in the config db (1 for PAM, 2 for crypt/shadow). You may specify a custom background Edje file for Entrance by modifying the "/entrance/background" key in your Entrance config. Entrance can load background collections from Entrance themes or E17 background files. If no background is specified, Entrance will use the default background specified in your theme. Take a look at README.edje for a guide to the theme format and a detailed explanation of how sessions and users work.
