Title: How To Get Xdm To Run @ Boot?
Post by: jerrybme on March 01, 2006, 01:06:08 pm

I'm trying to get xdm to run @ boot.
I added the following to the end of my /etc/inittab

Code: [Select]

x:5:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemonI also changed the paths to the proper locations in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config & Xresources
However the /var/log/xdm.log shows the following errors:

Code: [Select]

xdm error (pid 1013): chooser socket creation failed, errno 97
xdm info (pid 1013): Couldn't connect to PRNGD socket "/tmp/entropy": No such file or directory
On the console the error is:

Code: [Select]

INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
What am I missing? Or is there a better way?

TIA

Jerry

Try adding the following to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc :

if [ $runlevel -eq 5 ]; then
  export HOME=/home/root
  /usr/X11R6/bin/startx
fi
