The easiest way to do this would be to leave gpe-dm enabled, but remove all the unwanted stuff from /etc/X11/Xinit.d and install a script in there that starts the app that you want. If it's the GPE login screen that you're trying to avoid, removing the gpe-login package is probably what you want to do. p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
