GDM with Slackware 10.1 & Dropline?
 

I know Pat took out Gnome in the new slackware, and I just did a fresh install of Slackware Current. if I plan on downloading Dropline, how can I replace KDM with GDM (and do I need to get GDM from GNOME's ftp?) Thanks in advance!

I think GDM is integrated with dropline. If you have problems, take a look at /etc/rc.d/rc.4

Under all of the RC.4 config settings...it says

startkde


...so I deleted this and my Xorg kept crashing. Is there a certain command for gnome? Thanks!

FIXED: I just put "gnome-session" where "startkde" was. Tah dah! Thanks!

;) Well that's good!! What i meant was take a look at this:

# Tell the viewers what's going to happen...
echo "Starting up X11 session manager..."

# Try to use GNOME's gdm session manager:
#if [ -x /usr/bin/gdm ]; then
# exec /usr/bin/gdm -nodaemon
#fi
# Not there? OK, try to use KDE's kdm session manager:
if [ -x /opt/kde/bin/kdm ]; then
exec /opt/kde/bin/kdm -nodaemon
fi

# If all you have is XDM, I guess it will have to do:
if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm ]; then
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon
fi

For my my part i think gdm is better than kdm. I tried wdm but after a while, i didn't liked it anymore. Xdm is the fastest, but without options...
Cheers!

wdm rocks!

I use it on my windowmaker only boxen. . . which is really only one server that I almost never have to log into using wdm, but that's not the point! It rocks I tell you! ;)

The passwords aren't hashed... But i agree that it works well.
