Slackware 9.0 GUI?
 

Im able to boot in Linux but when I do I get text mode instead GUI like Gnome or Kde? how can I get it right? Always I need to type startx. And now I cant enter into Windows. Do I need enable Windows as bootable in the flag partition? what is the problem now?

What do you mean enter into windows? If you want to start up graphically with kde or gnome, you need to enable run level 3 (sorry I can't be more specific, but I've never done it).

Or, you can put 'startx' in your '.profile' and it will execute automatically when you login.

Respect Log in into Microsoft Windows I configured lilo but not appear me nothing and what did you mean about enable run level 3? and where is the '.profile_? and I forget always I need to put the root login and password is this a problem? Thanks

If u want to boot directly into x you switch the default to run level 5, run level 3 is just the command line. What do you mean by not being able to boot into windows, there an error message on the boot loader?

open /etc/inittab and change id:3:initdefault (or something like this, it's the first uncommented line) by id:4:initdefault (of course you need to have a working X11)

about windows, not sure about the question, but with fdisk (or cfdisk if you want something with menu) you can make windows partition bootable, but you should not need it to boot with lilo.

- about windows , I have installed Win2k but I cant see it in the LILO menu , I tried to configure LILO.conf with:

other = /dev/hda1
table=/dev/hda
label=Windows

but nothing happened,
-How can I switch the default to run level 5?

- also I want to change my keyboar map to Spanish, how can I do that?

- and How can I change the resolution of my gnome I tried Crtl, Alt, -+ but I would like to change to 840 for my default resolution

Thanks

Have you read my post???


to install lilo.conf modification, you need to run lilo again.
type "lilo"

dont remember for the keyboard, take a look in /etc/rd.d and search for keyboard map I believe.

take a look to /etc/X11/XF86Config files, change your default resolution in it, I'm too tired to takea look at mine but it should be easy. In worst case, backup it and then run xf86config to create a new file (a script will help you doing it).

run level
 

i wouldn't change runlevel at all
just add

/opt/kde/bin/kdm

for kdm
or

/usr/bin/gdm

if you prefer gdm

to your /etc/rc.d/rd.local file
changing runlevel altho it would work makes access to text consoles problematic - please see bottom of intitab for details
(by the way slack uses 4 for gui not 5)

as for your changes to lilo did you run

/sbin/lilo

after making your changes

good luck

I would like to change to 840 for my default resolution
 

Do you mean 800x600 or 640x480?

changing default resolution is done in /etc/X11/XF86Config file.
In the Screen section put the mode that you want first as the first listed dfor your default depth

example

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "NVIDIA GeForce"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24

Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection

as you can see my DefaultDepth is 24 and the first Mode listed for 24 is "1600x1200" so that would be the default resolution.

keyboard map is changed in the same file. look for
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"

uncomment it by removing the # symbol and change "de" to the spanish map

and for text console use loadkeys for more information see

good luck

Half_Elf is right. Change the /etc/inittab entry he mentioned.

inittab
 

i know changing inittab works to an extent however as i said there are reasons not to do it that way which are mentioned in the inittab file itself at the bottom. if your happy with it that way tho that's what matters.:)

Thanks all, Now works , Thanks Again
