Two Xsessions starting up

[storm_to]

I uninstalled latest kdm (V2.4+ I think) and installed legacy v2.2 kdm so that I can make my login look like Apple MAC OSX etc....

Now there are two sessions starting
Default kdm on :0
Default gdm on :1

I disabled kdm daemon, even went as far as uninstalling it (wouldn't boot up until kdm was reinstalled).

Something is still starting up two X sessions!?!?!?

Anyone know where I can go looking for the cause of dual start and disable the 1st one?

Thanks!

Please note that I don't actually know the definitive answer as I don't use this stuff, but until someone more knowledgeable replies here are some suggestions: /etc/ttys Somewhere in (/usr/local)/etc/rc.d/ Somewhere in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm Examine the +CONTENTS files in the /var/db/pkg directories for kdm/gdm, perhaps those list files and/or directories you may want to have a look at.Hope this helps,

Figured it out myself.

Noticed that gdm has /etc/X11/default-display-manager and gdm-2.20 removes it.

Both kdm and gdm check there to see if they are the default before starting up.

Since they can't find it, they both start up.

Soltution is:

sudo echo "/usr/sbin/gdm" > /etc/X11/default-display-manager
