Hi all,

I'm looking for the actual file that specifies which dm to load, not which desktop environment. ie. What setting tell X to load KDM, not GDM or XDM, or MDKKDM ....

using Mandrake 10 Off.

Help appreciated as always ;-)

/etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

depends...

nope, I checked those ones first, they make no mension of kdm or gdm or xdm

ok, using a _UGLY_ workaround by editing /etc/X11/prefdm, but I'd still like to know the correct setting, if anyone can help....

/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager

DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"
