About /etc/inittab
Hello,
I have a Gentoo installed on an old computer along with KDE. All this works fine. But if I want the graphical login to fire up from start; for some reason it does not work. I changed the initdefault in /etc/inittab from 3 to 5 as a I always do when I want to get this result. Nevertheless this time I must have forgotten something. Any idea ? If I do startx from the command line : it works fine. Michel |
Not all distribution use the same run-levels. Check in the text comments in inittab that 5 is correct. You should see a block of text that looks like this (from Suse 10.2)
Code:
# /etc/init.d/rc takes care of runlevel handling I have also seen runlevel 4 used for X |
Check the (awesome) Gentoo docs - start with the Desktop Resources.

Gentoo doesn't use the runlevels in the same way as Redhat and most Linux distros. To start KDM at boot time, do
Code:
#rc-update add xdm default Code:
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" |
