You have to keep in mind that not everyone on this list has been using linux for years. I try to give the simplest solution possible and if they want more detail, I'll provide it. I still remember how frustrating it was 3 years ago when "gurus" kept telling me to "just" edit this or that file. There are many people on the list who haven't a clue what you're talking about. My answers are formatted for them.
Yes, this is true. And if it were possible to do what he wanted from within rc.config that would be the preferable solution. As it is, you can't. If you want to start several display managers at once, you *have* to hack the script.
Also, you *can* select the wm from a drop box. I'm sitting here looking at the monitor across from me with a kdm login screen and a "Session Type" drop box exactly where I said. ditto for my laptop. Who knows? Maybe I have those because I set them up with yast..??? hmmm...
And let me repeat: kdm and xdm are *not* window managers. You cannot select kdm from kdm. //Anders
