Add to the /etc/gettytab file the following strings: test:\ :al=test:ht:np:sp#115200: test:\ - entry name, autologin will use this username; al=test - autologin username; ht - terminal has real tabs; np - 8-bit chars; (optional) sp#115200 - line speed; 2. Edit /etc/ttys file: ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty test" cons25 on secure Usual Pc changed with test. Then created file /etc/rc.local with su - user_to_be_logged_in -c startx I had found a similar solution for Slackware 13.1 with Xfce. Thanks to all for your help. Regards, Antonio
