Hi

does someone know which display manager is in use by default.
It is definitively not gdm. Because I wanted to start gdmsetup
which stated that it (gdm) would be not in use.

I would have liked to play around with some fancy login screens, but do not know how to configure them with CDE (dtlogin) or XDM.

Would it be a problem to use gdm?

Not at all.  There are a couple of smf services here:

([EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin )-> svcs cde-login gdm
STATE          STIME    FMRI
disabled       Nov_14   svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default
online         Nov_14   svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default

cde-login is the default on the Sun releases.  To switch
I'd suggest:

 - logout to get to dtlogin screen
 - choose 'command line login' and login as root
 - svcadm disable cde-login
 - svcadm enable gdm; exit

That last exit is designed to exit the root login shell and
allow the display manager exclusive access to the console.
An alternative is

# at now + 1 minute <<EOM
svcadm enable gdm
EOM

and then logout before the minute is  up.

Cheers

Gavin
