Hi Chirag,
you almost got it. It has to be:
ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure
So init will start your kdm. If you prefer the original line using xdm,
you have to alter
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession
I did there
# exec xsm
# PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
/usr/local/bin/startkde
The path was set already somewhere else, so I commented it out. Maybe it
is necessary for you.
If you just want startx to launch kde from the command line, you have to
alter
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
I did there
#twm &
#xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
#xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
#xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
#exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login
exec /usr/local/bin/startkde
BTW, I like the port of KDE being installed under /usr/local/bin
compared to many Linux-Installations under /opt. You always have to care
for paths there.
Ciao
Siegbert
