I do not know whether this will be of help to you as it is a bit dated and AFAIK only valid for openSuSE 10.2 (I am about to attempt this exercise with openSuSE 11.0 which could be fun) but this might give a few pointers ... I have not used mandrake/mandriva for years and have little recollection of whether it uses something equivalent to the SuSE xdm script to select the initial login and desktop. Paths may be radically different and the entrance-edit bit may have changed since then. I had to make two changes to the file /etc/init.d/xdm which handles display manager selection on boot, the lines marked + had to be be added. BTW openSuSE sets the $DISPLAYMANAGER variable from a file in /etc/sysconfig and the values are normally managed by YaST. Now mandrake will do this differently but the principle remains the same... case "${DISPLAYMANAGER##*/}" in kdm|kde|KDM|KDE) DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/kdm PIDFILE="/var/run/kdm.pid" ;; xdm) DISPLAYMANAGER=$XDM_BIN ;; gdm|GDM|Gnome|GNOME) DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/gnome/sbin/gdm PIDFILE="/var/run/gdm.pid" ;; wdm|WDM) DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/wdm ;; console) exit 0 ;; + entrance) DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/sbin/entranced + PIDFILE="/var/run/entranced.pid" + ;; *) DISPLAYMANAGER=$XDM_BIN if test -x /opt/kde3/bin/kdm; then DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/kdm PIDFILE="/var/run/kdm.pid" fi ;; esac and if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = "/opt/gnome/sbin/gdm" -a \ "$DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS" = "yes" -a \ "$DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER" = "no" ]; then XDMOPTIONS="--no-console" fi + if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = "/usr/sbin/entranced" ]; then + XDMOPTIONS="-nodaemon" + fi Then either modify the entrance configuration file with... entrance_edit --xserver "/var/X11R6/bin/X -quiet -nolisten tcp vt7" or set a soft link from /usr/X11R6/bin/X to /usr/bin/Xorg - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
