installing BlackBox

<< < (2/3) > >>

voidmain:
Look in /etc/sysconfig/desktop file.  If "DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE" is set it will use "kdm" and if "DISPLAYMANAGER=GNOME" is set it will use "gdm".  If you change that, you will have to restart X for it to take effect.

The "/etc/X11/prefdm" script looks in that "desktop" file and starts the appropriate display manager (graphical login). Take a look at the script, it's pretty simple.

choasforages:
same as i am, redhat something right or whatever, heres how i did it

ok, now that it is installed goto
/usr/share/apps/switchdesk

then make a file called

Xclients.blackbox

then put this into the file

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/blackbox

after that

chmod +x Xclients.blackbox /*another 15 minutes of frustion figured that one out*/

the goto
/etc/kde/kdm

use your favorite text editor on the kdmrc file
there should be a line that says

SessionTypes=

put a comma at the end of that line and type in blackbox
save it and log out and try to use blackbox, you should be able to
