Since the script /etc/X11/prefdm looks for DISPLAYMANAGER instead of DESKTOP, I added the line DISPLAYMANAGER=$DESKTOP to it as shown: preferred= if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then . /etc/sysconfig/desktop DISPLAYMANAGER=$DESKTOP if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = GNOME ]; then preferred=gdm elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = KDE ]; then preferred=kdm elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = XDM ]; then preferred=xdm fi fi I don't if that's the preferred way to do it, but it works for me in both RH8 and RH9.
