I do the similar thing in Debian with Openbox
* no gdm in my machine. You can disable it with rcconf or with
sysv-rc-conf or with update-rc.d
* In /etc/inittab
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /usr/local/sbin/autologin 38400 tty1
* /usr/local/sbin/autologin file as:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
os.execlp('login', 'login', '-f', 'my_user_name', '0')
* add the followings at the end of ~/.bashrc
if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && [ $(tty) == /dev/tty1 ]; then
startx
fi
* choosing the default x-session-manager and x-window-manager (as root)
update-alternatives --all
* add to following at the end of ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh file
to start EMC2
(sleep 5; emc) &
For fluxbox, use ~/.fluxbox/startup
