I have gotten a configuration with entrance as the login screen and e17 co-existing with e16 working, but this is for 10.2 and with packages currently available. For 10.0 and 10.1 users there is a howto here... > http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16231.html The above instructions are not relevant to 10.2... I do not think below warrants a more formal Howto as later packages may change things completely, it is more of a guideline... I you are not comfortable editing bash scripts I do not recommend this at all. 1) Setting entrance as your login screen... You will need to install entrance of course... Firstly you need to make two changes to /etc/init.d/xdm the three lines marked + should be added (approx line 90). (Backup file before editing of course). case "${DISPLAYMANAGER##*/}" in kdm|kde|KDM|KDE) DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/kdm PIDFILE="/var/run/kdm.pid" ;; xdm) DISPLAYMANAGER=$XDM_BIN ;; gdm|GDM|Gnome|GNOME) DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/gnome/sbin/gdm PIDFILE="/var/run/gdm.pid" ;; wdm|WDM) DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/wdm ;; console) exit 0 ;; + entrance) DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/sbin/entranced + PIDFILE="/var/run/entranced.pid" + ;; *) DISPLAYMANAGER=$XDM_BIN if test -x /opt/kde3/bin/kdm; then DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/kdm PIDFILE="/var/run/kdm.pid" fi ;; esac and (approx line 125) if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = "/opt/gnome/sbin/gdm" -a \ "$DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS" = "yes" -a \ "$DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER" = "no" ]; then XDMOPTIONS="--no-console" fi + if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = "/usr/sbin/entranced" ]; then + XDMOPTIONS="-nodaemon" + fi Then either modify the entrance configuration file with... entrance_edit --xserver "/var/X11R6/bin/X -quiet -nolisten tcp vt7" or set a soft link from /usr/X11R6/bin/X to /usr/bin/Xorg Finally set the DISPLAYMANAGER setting in the YaST sysconfig editor to entrance ii) Getting e16 and e17 to co-exist.... Easy but not obvious... Before updating to e17 I would recommend making a backup copy of /usr/share/e16 directory... (The first time I did this the e16 configuration was broken and I suspect this was because something went awol, second time the directory was untouched). To get access to e16 you merely have to ... cp /usr/share/e16/misc/e16.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/e16.desktop The e17 update removes the above. Does not seem to touch anything else. I am working on trying to get e16menuedit2 to do something sensible. It needs some work to function with the current e16 config e17 is very nice and now going I am to try a play with some of themes (it is a bank holiday in the UK :-)) .... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGWpyiasN0sSnLmgIRAhFeAKCr6fpdg5Senzo6au/E7g8mOsh6NgCgrdEz 9WjDC188bhzzq9vmPr9x0ZA= =UY9v -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
