Bug 154000 – wrong information about where have to be set the DISPLAYMANAGER variable

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 153955
• Product: [OLD] Docs on www.gentoo.org

[Description .:deadhead:. 2006-11-04 01:37:56 UTC]

In the http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-config.xml page is specified how to use kdm and make it start at the boot of the machine.

But at the "Graphical Login" chapter, is still written the old place where the DISPLAYMANAGER variable is set.

Now it's:
"Graphical Login

If you want to use kdm as graphical login manager (which means you don't have to login to a terminal and type startx every time) you need to edit a configuration file and set up your system so that it enters graphical mode after boot, as explained below.

In /etc/rc.conf, set the DISPLAYMANAGER variable to kdm.

Code Listing 3.2: Setting DISPLAYMANAGER in /etc/rc.conf

# nano -w /etc/rc.conf
(Edit the following variable)
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" 
"

It should be

"Graphical Login

If you want to use kdm as graphical login manager (which means you don't have to login to a terminal and type startx every time) you need to edit a configuration file and set up your system so that it enters graphical mode after boot, as explained below.

In /etc/conf.d/xdm, set the DISPLAYMANAGER variable to kdm.

Code Listing 3.2: Setting DISPLAYMANAGER in /etc/conf.d/xdm

# nano -w /etc/conf.d/xdm
(Edit the following variable)
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"
"
