Hi, I have the 4.0 powerpack version and have been trying to set up my installation to boot directly into X, in the manner that Linux runs in runlevel five. I have a single build right now that is used for ppp dialout until I figure some other things out, and thus far I have tried as suggested to edit the /etc./ttys file with the following: ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure And then to followup with the command kill -HUP 1 this brings up an X based login prompt but when I attempt to log in, it locks up briefly and then dumps me back at the log in prompt. Someone had suggested this had somthing to do with the authentication method being used. Can someone give an idea of the files I need to tweak to get this working?
