[gentoo-user] xdm and gdm login windows are different - how can I specify which to use
Probably an obvious question but for the life of me I can't figure out how to make xdm show the gdm login window at boot. To explain when I set rc-update add xdm default the login window is different to the one shown when I run gdm at the commandline. I prefer the gdm login window. My wife is Italian and sometimes she prefers to work off the desktop in Italian, and other times in English. The gdm window allows her to easily switch between languages Thanks, Richard -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

read the fine manual and look in /etc/rc.conf, it is all explained.

Set /etc/rc.conf so that DISPLAYMANAGER=gdm. then the xdm at default will actually start gdm. - Mark On 4/17/05, Richard Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Probably an obvious question but for the life of me I can't figure out how to make xdm show the gdm login window at boot.

Change DISPLAYMANAGER= in /etc/rc.conf There is no /etc/init.d/gdm (or kdm) script in gentoo. Richard Watson wrote: -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
