5/23 In FreeBSD how do you configure the machine to launch X during
bootup? In linux I know it's /etc/inittab but how do you do this
in general inmost Un*x's? -clueless
\_ Like, Duh!
\_ There is no general Un*x way. RedHat does this its own way. Debian
does their own way, Solaris configures dtlogin its own way and
*BSD has a different way for configuring this. rtfm.
\_ There are lots of ways. Probably the best is to make a small xdm
startup script and put it in /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/xdm.sh
(all it needs is like:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm
) --dbushong
\_ The correct way is to actiavate the correct option in /etc/rc.conf
(in OpenBSD at least)

\_ or specifically section 9.6 of the FAQ, appropriately titled
"How do I start XDM on boot?"
\_ Use kdm . I do it at work and it was easy to configure.
iJust be aware that it screws up other ways of running X

\_ Oh, nice. So much for compatibility and choice.
