Hi, so you must have some initialization script in /etc/init.d/, and in /etc/rc2.d/ should be symbolic link to it :
# ls -l /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Nov 15 23:50 /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm -> ../init.d/gdm (the 'S' must be uppercase in order to be executed on startup!!!) Than in /etc/X11/default-display-manager must be '/usr/bin/gdm'. So now you can try run as root: # /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm start If this works, gdm should be executed on each start-up. To enable root to login, see file /etc/gdm/gdm.conf (it's the main configuration file for gdm) and make sure there is: AllowRoot=true Bye -- +----------------------------------+ | Martin Kacerovsky | | e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | home : http://wizard.matfyz.cz | +----------------------------------+
