I've had this problem many times and have previously asked this group
but nothing came my way. Since then I have done some probing and I
believe the answer lies in the file /etc/sysconfig/sutologin of which
the contents are below.
AUTOLOGIN=yes
EXEC=/usr/X11R6/bin/startx
USER=yourusernameofcourse
I can't be 100% sure as I haven't tried it but I have noticed that the
AUTOLOGIN value does change depending on whether it is active or not.
Although drakconf allows you to reselect this feature during the process
it does not work at all even though it asks you to select the user as
you did during the install.
