Traditionally elogin should be started using elogind (installed in PREFIX/sbin at the moment). Just typing "elogind" at the command line should fork elogin to the background and start a new X server etc etc. As far as using your initscripts, the problem is that your /etc/X11/prefdm file is probably tailored to use either KDM, GDM or XDM as a last resort, since nobody knows about elogin. ;) So your best option would be to hack that file (which is what I did). You can look at http://speedstar.xcomputerman.com/files/elogin/prefdm as an example. What I have done is to modify it so that you can specify "Elogin" or "Enlightenment" in /etc/sysconfig/desktop, and it will launch elogind as a result. If your system does things a little differently, then you probably want to take note of the fact that starting elogind with the -nodaemon option will prevent it from forking to the background, which is probably the behavior you want. I'm not sure but I believe there is also a file in the data/init.d directory that allows you to add an elogin service to /etc/init.d.
