Hiya -

What file might I modify to enable kdm to start on bootup? And what
might that line look like.


The file you have to change is /etc/ttys

The corresponding entry in my /etc/ttys looks like this:

ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure

So you probably just have to replace "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" with
the path to kdm plus options you want to give.


Odd, on my 4.8 box - I did this. Didn't/dosn't work. Unless instead of just using tty8, I add that to 1 - 7 perhaps?



No - did you also change "off" to "on"? Tell your kernel to reread /etc/ttys (among others):

# kill -HUP 1


Ahhh, my bad,. I didn't set the "off" to "on". Thanks much to all that offered me answers on this one.

Chris


and, provided you got your command line right, {k,x}dm will start.
Your character terminals will still be available by hitting CTRL-ALT-Fn.
