I heard about lxdm before; lightdm is quite challenge for me (and it seem it is newly packaged in Fedora). I tried both, and as both satisfy my needs, I can little explain it here (lxdm-0.4.1-1.fc17 and lightdm-1.2.2-15.fc17 on i686): 1) lxdm - instal: yum -y install lxdm - activate: create "/etc/sysconfig/desktop" with one line DISPLAYMANAGER="/usr/sbin/lxdm" - configure: either edit configuration files, or there is simple graphical configuration tool: lxdm-config It isn't nothing as comfortable as was gdm-config of blessed memory in original gdm from George Lebl, but it did work for me Note: lxdm offers both language selection (it work) and also keyboard layout selection (weird - it display pulldown menu, but its items are blank). But language selection is enough for me. 2) lightdm - install: yum -y install lightdm-gtk . activate: create "/etc/sysconfig/desktop" with one line DISPLAYMANAGER="/usr/sbin/lightdm" - configure: edit configuration files in "/etc/lightdm/". Particularly I add two lines to "lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf": show-language-selector=true font-name=DejaVu Serif 12 Notes: + I had some problems due to lightdm packaging bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840302 + lot of useful information I found at URL http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/lightdm + lightdm, although new, seems be very powerfull. I will test it now more closely. Fedora 17 has version 1.2.2, but it seems as latest version is 1.3.2 - maybe it contains further interesting features. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
