Red Hat Graphic Login screen

[mrlee]

Ok...I hope that I will be a concise a possible so that I can't get the answer that I am looking for. It seems around here if you don't ask it precisely, you get nothing. ;)
I am running Red Hat 7.3 and I would like to add Fluxboxx to my graphic login screen. What is the file that I need to edit and what do I need to add so that Fluxboxx is one of my options? Additionally, is that all that I have to do to make Fluxboxx work or is there another step/process that I am missing?

Thanks,
Lee

I could help if you didn't use the graphical login.

You will have to find the file it looks at for confuguration (usually a dot file with rc at the end) and add exec fluxbox to it along with the others.

I am always breaking x, so I use the command line login. startx looks at .xinitrc, so I put it there.

.Xdefaults maybe?

Don't use graphical logins, it makes everything harder.

Redhat is bad about not making it easy to add other desktops to the logon, so what i do is edit the Xclients-default file in /home/*username directory or /root to point to it, now i don't use fluxbox but i do use blackbox and i just edited Xclients-default to point to /usr/bin/blackbox so all you need to do is find fluxbox's executable and direct Xclients-default to it...

hope this works for ya...

If you use the KDM login screen you can find the all the config info here-->/etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc

If you edit line 265 and add "fluxbox" that will give the additional selection in the KDM GUI logon for fluxbox.

From here, it gets hazy...I did.place a .Xclients in my $HOME (which merely called "exec fluxbox"). Try what I've listed and let me know if it works. If not, then I'll try the process over again and record every step (hate it when I don't).
