<title>Configuration Information</title>
<para>
The LXDM daemon configuration <filename>/etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf</filename>
file options includes numlock on/off, backgraound image (bg), session,
etc. You can set a default session by uncommenting the line:
session=/usr/bin/startlxde and replacing <command>startlxde</command>
with your session of choice. For <application>GNOME</application>
session=/usr/bin/gnome-session. For <application>OPENBOX</application>
session=/usr/bin/openbox-session and for
<application>XFCE</application> session=/usr/bin/startxfce4.
</para>
<para>
It is also possible to set the preferred session on a per-user basis by
editing the ~/.dmrc file for each user and adding:
<screen><literal>[Desktop]
Session=xfce</literal></screen>
</para>
<para>
You can replace the default dummy face in the greeting screen by other
image representing your user. For that, copy or symlink the desired
image to your home directory, with the name <filename>.face</filename>.
</para>
</sect3>
<sect3>
<title>Starting lxdm</title>
<para>
You can manually start <command>lxdm</command>, e.g, if the bootscript
has been installed, by running, as <systemitem
class="username">root</systemitem> user:
</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>/etc/rc.d/init.d/lxdm start</userinput></screen>
<para>
By definition, X should be executed at runlevel 5, consequently, the
same is true for <application>lxdm</application>. However, BLFS default
runlevel is 3. Changing to runlevel 5, from the terminal, as
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user, makes the
<command>lxdm</command> bootscript to be executed, obtaining the
greeter screen:
</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>init 5</userinput></screen>
<para>
In order to permanently set the default to 5, obtaining the
<command>lxdm</command> greeter screen automatically, you can modify
<filename>/etc/inittab</filename>, as <systemitem
class="username">root</systemitem> user (the instructions below also
make a backup, so you can easily revert the modification):
</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>mv -vi /etc/inittab{,-orig} &amp;&amp;
sed -i '/initdefault/ s/3/5/' /etc/inittab</userinput></screen>
<para>
One important script, executed after login, is
<filename>/etc/lxdm/Xsession</filename>, which we have fixed to fit
BLFS specifications.
