X11 auto start on bt4

[blackhatdbl]

OK,
lets do our bt4 pre-final to run the "startx" command
create a new text file on your desktop and name it "xstrup.sh"
open it wit a text editor and write:

#!/bin/sh
stratx

and save it.
then open a terminal.Run the following commands:

cd
chmod +x xstrup.sh
sudo cp xstrup.sh /etc/init.d/

DONE!!!

An easiest way would be

nano /root/.bash_profile
startx
save, exit, reboot.

Or maybe change the default runlevel to 4

/etc/inittab:
id:4:initdefault:

This will start kdm what you can configure from kde to log on automatically as a specified user

Done? are you sure? Did you forget all about /etc/init.d/skel and update-rc.d?

In Debian based distros there is no default run level for graphical mode unlike some others.

For more information about runlevels in Debian: An introduction to run-levels

The preferred method of getting xserver to boot on startup is via the installation of a graphical display manager.

# aptitude install kdm

The postinst script of the package will automatically add it to the default runlevel.

Sorry, that was for bt3..

[Titan8990]

Yep, Slackware based distros do have a graphical run level.

[SETI_explorer]

Install kdm, and then, in sysv-rc-conf select kdm to run in run level 2

[Titan8990]

in sysv-rc-conf select kdm to run in run level 2

Why not just add it the default run level and leave it at that? Must we hack around configuration files when we don't need to?

double post, disregard

[xCPPx]

Having installed kdm myself, and set the runlevel to 5 upon boot, has anybody noticed that certain environment variables are being changed and/or reset? I.e. the $PATH no longer reflects whatever is written in /etc/environment. Try logging in on another tty (ctrl+alt+F2) and you'll get proper variables, unlike in the X.

Or place a link to x11 on KDE startup directory . . . (noob friendly)
