Jon, If you want to get rid of the GUI login all together and just type startx or not type startx to use a console only..then you can change this in the /etc/rc.config # Here you can set the default Display manager (kdm/xdm/gdm/wdm/console). # Attention: CHECK_INITTAB has to be set to yes, to activate this feature. # If DISPLAYMANAGER is set to console, SuSEconfig will not bother you # with a missing XF86Config. # DISPLAYMANAGER="" Just make sure that it has nothing set..and you won't have to deal with that GUI login screen. * Jon Clausen (jonclausen@get2net.dk) [010225 05:07]: =>Hi => =>Does anyone know how to add console as an option in the KDM login window? => =>I got KDE2 running on SuSE 6.4 (Kernel 2.2.14) but now I find that it would =>be nice to be able to select "console" when I login to my system. I suspect =>it should be pretty simple, but I'm afraid to screw up my X configuration... => =>I know that I can get a virtual console (ALT+CRTL+F*) but what I want is to =>login to the system without X running in the background. And I find it too =>cumbersome to first login to KDE, then open a terminal, then SU to root, to =>issue init 2, to have KDE and X shutdown, leaving me in a *real* console... => =>Couldn't seem to find any documentation that covers this... => =>And yes, I am relatively new to Linux, so please bear with me... => =>Jon => =>-- =>To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com =>For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com =>Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq => -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org -------------------- If two people agree completely then only one of them is doing the thinking.
