Also, as she said put a bang (!) in front of kdm.
I too have not used a graphic startup in a long time, but usually, you will have to edit
/etc/inittab. See what the default is.
I have a faq for linux newcomers that covers this, though just for RH and Slack and so it's a bit dated but check out
]]>:? scottro -- This is .xinitrc.
#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
#exec wmaker
# exec startkde
# exec icewm
# exec blackbox
exec fluxboxThe only thing I uncommented was" exec fluxbox". I'm still getting kde at start up.
I have kdm listed in a start up daemon in rc.conf. is this the problem?thanks for the reply -- Larry
if you comment out exec wmaker and then put a ! in front of the kdm daemon you should boot to a console at which point you login then type startx. you may also have to change your init level but i dunno i haven't used a graphical login manager for a very long time.

]]>Comment the kde line, whatever it is, and uncomment fluxbox. Then, when you type startx, fluxbox should start.
