Furthermore, kde should NOT be started, but icewm. I searched the gentoo wiki and the docs at gentoo.org for hints and found bits and pieces what to do...but it still does not work. My current (not working) settings are: etc/inittab: # Default runlevel. id:5:initdefault: # System initialization, mount local filesystems, etc. si::sysinit:/sbin/rc sysinit # Further system initialization, brings up the boot runlevel. rc::bootwait:/sbin/rc boot l0:0:wait:/sbin/rc shutdown l1:S1:wait:/sbin/rc single l2:2:wait:/sbin/rc nonetwork l3:3:wait:/sbin/rc default l4:4:wait:/sbin/rc default l5:5:wait:/sbin/rc X11 l6:6:wait:/sbin/rc reboot #z6:6:respawn:/sbin/sulogin . . . x:a:once:/etc/X11/startDM.sh # last line --- /etc/rc.conf: # What display manager do you use ? [ xdm | gdm | kdm | entrance ] DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" . . . XSESSION="icewm" ---- rc-update show: . . . xdm | default ------ After the boot process ended I find myself at the console login and runlevel 5 is running...but no X and therefore no xdm/kdm. When start kdm as root by hand, X starts, then kdm and after login icewm is running...so far so nice. But why does boot ignore me ? ;) Keep hacking! mcc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
