Re: [gentoo-user] set xdm to start after agetty
Hi Thanasis, on Friday, 2007-09-28 at 22:41:52, you wrote: How can we set the xdm/gdm not to start before the agetty processes (during the boot phase)? Have a look at the depend() function in /etc/init.d/xdm. It specifies what should be started before xdm, so adding agetty to an after line in this function should do it. cheers, Matthias -- I prefer encrypted and signed messages.

I don't know why it would matter, but I bet you'll end up with artifacts in /tmp, ~/, or something otherwise. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

What I meant is that I think the shutdown/reboot process will automagically runs a '/etc/init.d/xdm stop' even if you start it via local.start. I know it does so if you start it manually. Anyway nothing in my /tmp survives a reboot. -- Albert W. Hopkins -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Just an idea for a possible direction to point your investigation to... /etc/config-archive/etc/conf.d/xdm: === # Tell X to always start on VT7. Otherwise it autodetects the first available # VT, which means it has to wait until all gettys are started so it doesn't suck # up a VT that should have had a login prompt (very slow). # If XSTATICVT is on, the login manager will start as soon as possible during # the boot process. If you want X to dynamically start on the first unoccupied # VT after all gettys have started and you are using xdm, also remove the vt7 # from /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. XSTATICVT=yes === I'm not sure if it is still valid because the new xdm file is different. /etc/conf.d/xdm: === # We always try and start X on a static VT. The various DMs normally default # to using VT7. If you wish to use the xdm init script, then you should ensure # that the VT checked is the same VT your DM wants to use. We do this check to # ensure that you have't accidently configured something to run on the VT # in your /etc/inittab file so that you don't get a dead keyboard. CHECKVT=7 === /etc/conf.d/xdm is provided by x11-apps/xinit HTH -- Best regards, Daniel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
