Re: How to config default login manager?

hmm..
in redhat/fedora it was in /etc/X11/prefdm

I don't use a login manager on arch, so I couldn't tell ya.

Look at the end of /etc/inittab. I changed mine to

x:5:respawn:/opt/kde/bin/kdm -nodaemon

Re: How to config default login manager?

i put kdm in dameons section of /etc/rc.conf

then once kde loaded go to control center >system administration>login manager

in administrator mode convienence>enable auto login

then if you dont want kde to be your default login
logout then log into which ever de you want it will be your default login
reboot  and  it will go right into it
im using  enlightenment right now  with kdm loading it
i used xfce4 & xfce  for a while its cool play around with it
