Gnome2 at startup - jimpy90 - 2004-04-28
Hi,
I have recently installed FreeBSD (i know it's unix but....) version 4.9 i386. Considering that this is the first time i have ever used Linux/Unix Based OS i am doing quite well with setting up the XServer and the Gnome Desktop.
My question is this...
Ho do i/What file do i change to make Gnome run at startup so that i login to the computer with the Gnome GUI????????????
Please reply this has been pissing me off for the past day, and please speak real simple. i am very computer literate but, Unix is a whole new world to me. :/

A followup for anyone else in the same position as me:

This helped me get a graphical user login going (XDM) but what i realy want is the GDM....
HOWEVER i have read on the internet that you should not boot in to GDM using the ttys file as it becomes unstable. Does anyone know a work around or even better, the proper way to install GDM?
Gnome is my default desktop enviroment, i.e. when i login and type 'startx' gnome starts.
I am using Gnome2 on a FreeBSD 4.9
p.s. or would you suggest that i convert to KDE? o_O
