43 <h3>X11 - X Window System</h3>
|
|
pankso@7
|
44 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
45 The X Window System or X11 provides a window manager running on
|
|
pankso@7
|
46 top of a X server. SliTaz uses by default the lightweight X server called
|
|
pankso@7
|
47 <code>Xvesa</code> from the Xorg project (<a href="http://www.x.org/">www.x.org</a>).
|
|
pankso@7
|
48 Xvesa can be started with the Slim login manager or directly from a Linux console
|
|
pankso@7
|
49 with the command <code>startx</code>, but for this you must first disable the
|
|
pankso@7
|
50 Login Manager. To reconfigure your X session you can use <code>tazx</code>
|
|
pankso@7
|
51 as root or as the current user if you start X from the command line.

55 <h3>Slim - Simple Login Manager</h3>
|
|
pankso@7
|
56 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
57 Slim is a lightweight session manager that is very easy to configure and is
|
|
pankso@7
|
58 customizable using system themes. The configuration file is found in
|
|
pankso@7
|
59 <code>/etc/slim.conf</code>, it defines window managers available via the
|
|
pankso@7
|
60 <code>F1</code> key, the default user or theme and the X window system parameters.
|
|
pankso@7
|
61 Slim offers special users commands like <code>console</code> to help manage
|
|
pankso@7
|
62 the session.
|
|
pankso@7
|
63 </p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
64 <p>
|
|
pankso@7
|
65 In LiveCD mode you can disable Slim with the boot option <code>screen=text</code>.
|
|
pankso@7
|
66 On an installed system you can remove the package or delete slim from the
|
|
pankso@7
|
67 <code>RUN_DAEMONS</code> variable in <code>/etc/rcS.conf</code>.
|
|
pankso@7
|
68 </p>

73 <h4>Default user</h4>
|
|
pankso@16
|
74 <p>
|
|
pankso@16
|
75 Slim offer a way to pre-load a user login name, by defaut hacker is configured
|
|
pankso@16
|
76 for convenience. You can change this by editing Slim configuration file
|
|
pankso@16
|
77 <code>/etc/slim.conf</code> and modifiy the line <code>default_user</code> or
|
|
pankso@16
|
78 leave the line blank to avoid pre-loading user name. Example:
|
|
pankso@16
|
79 </p>
