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
