I have tried to get slim to start as my login manager instead of gdm, but everything I have tried so far has not worked.
I have installed slim via yum and then tried the following approaches:
First I tried to put the following line in /etc/X11/default-display-manager /usr/bin/slim
That did not work. Then I tried to put this line in /etc/inittab: x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null
This did not work. I then tried to put this line in /etc/sysconfig/desktop DISPLAYMANAGER="SLIM" and then added these to lines in /etc/X11/prefdm just after the GNOME/gdm part: elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = SLIM ]; then preferred=/usr/bin/slim
This did not work either. I have not been able to find a solution that works. So, how do I change the default display manager from GDM to SLIM?
Any suggestions are welcome Kennet
I would expect the /etc/sysconfig/desktop to contain this: #!/bin/sh DESKTOP="SLIM" DISPLAYMANAGER=SLIM
together with your changes to the prefdm
