I'm crash-testing Beta-4, so, I'm game.
Thanks!

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).

Ah, so there is no runlevel 3? Create it: set up inittab with runlevel 3 (or 4) having the default pdaXrom settings, and runlevel 5 adding gdm. Then you can telinit between them and pick one or the other for a default.

Watch out for the startup files in /etc/rc.d/init.d, as they are linked to runlevel - hmm... this could be more work than I first thought...

Yep,
You need runlevel 5 to run pdax, I was thinking about creating an extra runlevel, which means shifting the shutdown level.

How can you shift the shutdown level?

Runlevels 0, 1 and 6 are reserved (for shutdown, single user and reboot). The others are up for grabs, and while tradition says that 3 is console and 5 is graphical, various distributions change this and there is no hard and fast rule.

I think you will have to move the settings that are currently in runlevel 5 down to 3 or 4, so you can use 5 for graphical. Or maybe you could install it backwards...? That's why I mentioned it being a bit more work than I initially thought, because you'd have to move the current default down, as you can't add any more up.

My head is spinning with numbers now... imagine how much difficulty I would have with double digits! In the end there is only 0 and 1 anyhow...

I thought it was like that, but read something about runlevel 7 while googling, so I just hoped there would be a way...
Anyone knows how "kdm" jumps back to console login ? Maybe I should look into this.

I got further now... if I type gdm now the screen turns grey and there is this mousepointer (as if X would start). But then nothing happens... I can move the pointer so the system doesnt hang but still it does nothing.

btw. when I start gdmgreeter it says in console:
"gdmgreeter: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

where do I get this lib? this ist something related to gtk, isn't it?

Remember, you need to add a gdm user group:

addgroup gdm

and afterwards:

adduser gdm

It works for me, although when I start xfce4 the fonts are the wrong size - apparently Chero's xinitrc file is being loaded instead of mine. I'll see if I can find a way to edit the .conf file...

Try editing /usr/etc/gdm/gdm.conf (you can simply use the edit function in mc)
then replace every "-dpi 100" by " "

I changed this to make sure the greeter screen was readable.

Intersting point here... if I  "addgroup gdm" and then "adduser gdm" it says: "adduser: group name gdm already in use".

anyway if I type gdm the screen turns grey and the pointer appears on the screen... that means that X starts but it doesnt go further. The pointer moves if I tap the screen so the Zaurus doesnt hang. If I press ctrl+alt+bs I get back to the terminal.

Or does it maybe take so long for gdm to start (for the first time)?

There are a whole bunch of dependencies, libbono, libgnomegui & others. Try running gdmsetup, you'll  find out what dependencies you're missing.

Thank you. I thought of missing dependencies but gdmflexiserver, gdmphotosetup and gdmsetup where the only commands I didnt test...  and the other do not tell me which dependencies are not available.

gdmsetup really needs some dependencies which I'll install now.

thx!

Edit: I'll post which dependencies are needed for other users to know:
libbonobo, libgnomeui, libbonoboui, libgnome, (lib)gnome-keyring, gnome-vfs, libglade, libgsf, libiconv, librsvg, orbit2

most of them are to be found in the beta1 feed

gdmsetup works now as it should but gdm still doesnt start. The same as told before happens. Grey screen as if X would start and mousepointer but nothing more happens.

does gdm have a log or something where I can find what happens during start of gdm?
