Use a graphical login manager such as `gdm' (comes with Gnome). To launch `gdm' at the system startup, do the following: cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d cp gdm.sh.sample gdm.sh chmod a+x gdm.sh =09 You can launch `gdm' now from the console (as root simply type `gdm'). =09 2.) Put the following to your ~/.xinitrc (don't remember whether this file has to be executable or not, since I am using 1.) exec /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session Now `startx' should launch Gnome. =09 Regards, Simon --eheScQNz3K90DVRs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/b6NMCkn+/eutqCoRAsKjAKC/ILYFSuGFkCW2SHczk/QrKUwcxgCg2/Dv xY1SmTrFOHuJozbAmp9A7+M= =LwLu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --eheScQNz3K90DVRs--
