To be able to choose matchbox :
there should be a .desktop file in /etc/dm/Sessions (or /usr/etc/dm/Sessions) (see my postings)

I'm not sure whether it's /etc or /usr/etc, I've been trying several options and my Z is a bit of a mess right now (but still does everything I want)

I'm still changing things to the setup, cause I also want to be able to log on to console.

Could somebody try the command "telinit 3" ?
(I don't have my Z with me and have troubles to reach this forum from 15:00 to 22:00).

Have Fun,
Chero.

Is there a HowTo to get XDM working? I have tried
Code: [Select]
/etc/rc.d/init.d/x11 startThat doesnt do anything. I tried to start it manually and that doesnt do anything either. I prefer XDM over GDM/KDM because its lighter and if you configure it right it can be very nice looking.

I have the same problem with xdm (and I don't like the look, but maybe you can teach us how to change it    ).
The problems are the same with gdm, so I believe they are related to the actions qpkg performs right after startup.
Apart from that, I'm still trying to find a way to get a console login when xdm/gdm has been set up. Anybody has a clue ?

I was thinking of calling a script  with a  .desktop session file that kills the gdm process. A bit of a hack but it might work.

This works if I change "inittab" in the same script. It's not really killing gdm, I change "inittab" in the script to the original one, then I "telinit 5" to go back to runlevel 5 and I get my console login.
The bad thing is that when you've done this, you'll get a console login after reboot. I created a script called "restore-X-login" to put back the "inittab" with an X-login. Then I get x-login after reboot (and after running the script).
I'm still fiddling with this to make it more beautiful, I've already changed "inittab" so I can see the console login on reboot, right before gdm launches. The trick is to kill gdm, without gdm restarting automatically. Once I know how to do this, "inittab" can stay what and where it is.

Have fun,
Chero.

Sorry for the poor image-quality, I'll try to make a better one tomorrow.

(It reads : "welcome to pdaXrom")

Changing init levels is definitely the 'correct' way to handle gdm. Doesn't 'telinit 3' work? It sounds like you are changing the inittab manually at times, and I presume this will override the default runlevel because this is where it is stored...? Or does telinit make permanent changes to inittab?

The point is that the (console) login appears with default runlevel "5" in the original pdaXrom setup. I added gdm to runlevel 5, as it should be on a desktop-computer.

The only trick I miss right now is to stop gdm and get a console login. (The only way I can do it is as described above).

a better picture, as promised.

I'll try to package this in a "safe" ipk that doesn't destroy your current setup.
Anyone interested in testing ?

BTW: I compiled gdm-2.8.0.6 (debian stable) and now gdmsetup works.
