changing form gdm to kdm and back


Hello

I need to run kde in native mode not on top of gdm with kdm as the window manager. I also need to run gnome in native mode and not on top of kdm with gdm as windows manager.

Is there a easy way to do this without hanging the system.

Michael

Install them both then when the configuration question is asked about which you want as the default choose your preference and it will be used next time the X server is started. Then at the command line after having logged out of your Desktop as root /etc/init.d/gdm stop then /etc/init.d/kdm start will stop GDM and start your KDM allowing you too login reverse to go back to GDM, you might have to use sudo in front of the commands as normal user as I believe Ubuntu disables root user login.
