Hi
I'm running VDR-1.6.0 and vdr-xine on my Fedora 6 box, and am moving into Fedora 9.
I've always had problems with a lack of real understanding on window managers, so have put up with GDM under Fedora 6, but Fedora 9 has some real nasty "clever" stuff that just simply needs disabling.
Can anyone suggest a howto, or can guide me on how to circumvent this entirely? Basically I need to:
- auto log into 'vdruser'
- start xine
That's it. Everything else is done behind the scenes, and I can handle.
Can anyone help?
I've moved from Fedora8 to Fedora10beta using GNOME 2 weeks ago, beside the autologin that have to be configured in gdm config file instead of a menu you probably used there is no much differences in the process. Search for "gdm autologin" in google, I don't have access to my Linux machine right now. xine can be started from .bashrc
If you don't have a strong machine you should probably consider another windows manager since GNOME and KDE are resource hungry.
Thanks Simon
