In linux it was done by modifying runlevels because everything underneath that was set up for you. In FreeBSD you first have to choose which display manager to use (xdm, wdm, kdm, gdm etc.....) then at least for wdm, go and edit a bunch of files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/wdm (not a topic for this list really, and I think there is help for it in the handbook), and then go to /usr/local/etc/rc.d and add a script to start the display manager you chose. I have this all set up and working with wdm on my personal computer if you want to see the configs. Let me know. ================================================================= | Kenneth Culver | FreeBSD: The best NT upgrade | | Unix Systems Administrator | ICQ #: 24767726 | | and student at The | AIM: muythaibxr | | The University of Maryland, | Website: (Under Construction) | | College Park. | http://www.wam.umd.edu/~culverk/| ================================================================= On Tue, 5 Dec 2000, Allan Dib wrote: > This is probably very basic, but I have not done it before on FreeBSD. > How do I get my box to boot startight to the X/KDE GUI rather than using > the usual startx command.
