Subject: Re: kdm vs xdm again

Here are the instructions posted not too long ago on how to get kdm to start
KDE instead of looping...  I did not write these, but I have tried these
instructions and they work.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
OK here is my step by step instruction for kdm to work on 1.3:

mkdir /opt/kde/config
cd /opt/kde/config
mkdir kdm
cd kdm
mkdir authdir
ln -s /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config .
cd /opt/kde/bin
=====================
joe (edit) startkde
put:

export KDEDIR=/opt/kde
export PATH=/opt/kde/bin:$PATH  

after the first line so it looks like:

#!/bin/sh
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde
export PATH=/opt/kde/bin:$PATH

kaudioserver &
kwmsound &

kfm &
kcontrol -init &

kbgndwm &
krootwm &
kpanel &

kwm     
======================================================

cd /etc/X11/xdm
edit Xsetup_0
At Your discretion comment out xconsole line and add:
/opt/kde/bin/kdmdesktop

edit Xsession
after:

case $1 in
        failsafe)
                exec xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0
                ;; 

Insert:
        kde)
                exec /opt/kde/bin/startkde
                ;;      

To look like:

case $# in
1)
        case $1 in
        failsafe)
                exec xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0
                ;;
        kde)
                exec /opt/kde/bin/startkde
                ;;
        esac
esac
