Hi I install xfce4 on my desktop, so I want to modify the menu that I have at the start of mandrake. Unfortunately I dont know how to know if what I am using is GDM, XDM, KDM or any other.

 

I do know that I cant get into xfce from the graphical login so I used the console. However, I want to be able to get xfce4 on the menu and also know which graphical login manager I used.

 

- How do I find out which graphical login manager I am using?

- How can I edit it so I ad the option of xfce4?

 

-- Pointers --

The graphical login manager looks like a window with NO taskbar, it says Mandrake Linux and after you select the user you are transfered to a different screen which ask you for your password and have a list block with the available window managers/ desktop enviroments.

any Ideas which might be?

I need to be at home

To find out your current dm just (ps -ef | grep dm)

 

Its likely to be mkddm.... since its the default.

You might wanna consider a more generic one like gdm or xdm or kdm.

 

personally gdm would be my choice ... but that becuase it makes remote logins easy.
