pico /etc/conf.d/local.start

where it says "/usr/bin/gdm".. change it to just "startx".

There are 3 lines with "/usr/bin/gdm". I changed all of them to "startx" but it doesn't work.

if [ -f /usr/bin/gdm ]; then
echo -n "Starting X" && sleep 1 && echo -n "." && sleep 1 && echo -n "." && sleep 1 && echo -n "." && sleep 1 && echo -n "." && $
fi

/bin/led gggg
chmod 777 /dev/dsp
if [ -f /usr/bin/gdm ]; then
/usr/bin/gdm 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null

/bin/led gggg
chmod 777 /dev/dsp
if [ -f /usr/bin/gdm ]; then
/usr/bin/gdm 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null

just change the last bit,

if [ -f /usr/bin/gdm ]; then
/usr/bin/gdm 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null

to

startx

It doesn't work. It loads up with 3 bash terminals. I can't see the user interface.

It has worked - that has loaded X as root.

Next you need to edit /root/.xinitrc and put "startkde" or "startxfce4" in it.

startxfce4 was already there as default
================================
File: /root/.xinitrc

/usr/bin/X11/xvkbd -geometry 792x130+0-74 &


startxfce4

I replaced

if [ -f /usr/bin/gdm ]; then
/usr/bin/gdm 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null


with startxfce4 instead of startx and it works.. thanks alot guys..
