Then you probably don't want to use GDM or any other DM as they are primarily designed to "manage" displays that are already selected. What you want is more of a chicken-and-egg issue for a display manager. What you likely need is something to be run from the command line (i.e. *before* X is started). startx (or xinit) are perfect for this. No need to write any fancy program, it can pretty much do what you're asking: $ startx /path/to/program/that/needs/X.org -- /usr/bin/X $ startx -- /usr/bin/Xgl or whatever. There's probably a dozen other ways to do it. See the startx man page for details. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
