How to remove slim to start X directly?

[sw2wolf]

Now I'm using slim as DM

$cat /etc/ttys |grep slim
ttyv8   "/usr/local/bin/slim"          xterm       on secure

Now I want to start X directly without using DM.


Sincerely!

Why don't you just disable it from /etc/rc.conf or de-install it using pkg_delete(1)?

Of cource, I can remove slim. But I want to enter X automatically too.

The user file you want to set that up is xinitrc.

The user file you want to set that up is xinitrc.

~/.xinitrc is ok. Without slim or other DM, I run startx manually after log in now.

Hi,

mine is

 ~% grep ttyv8 /etc/ttys
ttyv8	"/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon"	xterm	off secure

if you wanted to revert to the original setting, this may help.

In this way, it will enter console. However, when running startx, it will report there is no ~/.Xauthority and cannot start X. Then I use xinit to start X.

How can I make xinit run automatically after the user login ?

You do know x11/slim has an autologin option?

What I really want to know is how to run xinit automatically after a normal user login. I don't want to use slim now.

Use startx(1) and add it to ~/.login for example.

SirDice,

does .login run also when connecting via ssh (if you run csh I mean)? If so, it would create a problem, wouldn't it?

Build in some kind of check before starting startx(1).
