I think is a better option that: ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d{gdm.sh|kdm.sh|xdm.sh} And more in the way of launch xdm/kdm from init via /etc/ttys So, any "xdm" you choose, allways make the config on /etc - via /etc/ttys -> classic FreeBSD method to launch xdm/kdm - via /etc/rc.conf -> new method I want to try /etc/defaults/rc.conf + xdm_enble="NO" + xdm_program="/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm" /etc/rc.conf (xdm) xdm_enable="YES" /etc/rc.conf (gdm) xdm_program="/usr/X11R6/bin/gdm" xdm_enable="YES" ... > You should ask on the ports mailing list as these changes would affect > more than just 5.3+ and -CURRENT. > Yes, of course. But I want some ack that maybe possible. I no issues by x11 and gnome, my initial workplan about this is: - make /etc/rc.d/xdm usable on CURRENT - convert gdm2 ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh.sample in a rcNG gdm.sh script - make gdm2 depend on sysutils/rc_subr on non 5.x systems - after some point of CURRENT/RELENG_5, use xdm_enable instead of gdm_enable - in the same moment or afer that make gmd2 not install ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh Any comments about that are welcome Also, on making this or other script capable of launch a Xserver for XDMCP (Xterminal). -- josemi -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
