Re: Hi again. How to boot into gdm?



Hi,
so you must have some initialization script in /etc/init.d/, and in 
/etc/rc2.d/ should be symbolic link to it : 

# ls -l /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm 
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           13 Nov 15 23:50
/etc/rc2.d/S99gdm -> ../init.d/gdm

(the 'S' must be uppercase in order to be executed on startup!!!)
Than in /etc/X11/default-display-manager must be '/usr/bin/gdm'.
So now you can try run as root:
# /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm start
If this works, gdm should be executed on each start-up.

To enable root to login, see file /etc/gdm/gdm.conf (it's the main
configuration file for gdm) and make sure there is:
AllowRoot=true

Bye
