Hi,

Yesterday I posted about replacing the graphical login available with
SUSE 5.3 (i.e xdm
or kdm) with the Login.app from Per Liden with a custom image from
Largo's page ( http://wm.current.nu/misc.html ).

It is working ok now, if you are interested, here is the roadmap:
    + download the sources from:
http://www.student.hk-r.se/~pt96pli/login/ instructions about using a
custom image are on Largo's page ( see link above).
    + build them ( read Per Instructions they are very simple)
            + Do you use glibc (libc6)              Y/n I answered no
            + Do you use shadow password        Y/n I answered yes
because I found an/etc/shadow file and I have a star in the
passwd           position in the /etc/passwd.
    + to build you just have to type 'build'
    + then do 'make install'.

you have to modify my
/etc/inittab

set initdefault level to 3 at the beginning of the file, then farther in
the file /etc/inittab you will find a section like this

# getty-programs for the normal runlevels
# <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process>
# The "id" field  MUST be the same as the last
# characters of the device (after "tty").
1:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear tty1
2:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
3:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
4:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
5:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
6:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6

Add this line

x:3:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/Login.app >& /dev/null

In the /etc/rc.config a line ( which can be accessed from YAST) which
gives you the choice for login console/xdm/kdm, put console).

Be sure then and it's the last step that you have a valid ~/.xinitrc

then it's Ok :) you are ready to reboot !!
Best regards

GH Portefait
