OK here is my contribution to re-inventing the wheel. 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...

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 :-)) ....
