Auto run STARTX

Neb · 08-12-2003, 02:35 PM

When I login at the text prompt I subsequently have to type STARTX to get the gui running.

How do I automate this?? I know there's a file I need to modify somewhere, but I haven't been successful at locating it.

Could you indicate which file and what I need to edit?

Thank you,
Neb

in your home directory, edit (or create) a .bash_login file and add:

startx

Notice the period before the file name.

edit your /etc/inittab
and change

id:5:initdefault:

to

id:3:initdefault:

5 - graphic interface (startX)
3 - text interface
