I've just installed Salix for the first time and am very impressed. I've been using Debian for ten years, but it doesn't recognize my new box (Qotom Q190N). When I checked its hardware list it's dated 2010 - unbelievable! The current Debian 'testing' won't install either.
I therefore downloaded ten different distros, and the only ones to install correctly were Salix, MX Linux and Slackware. Puppy Linux runs fine, as does System Rescue CD, praise be! I used Slackware for a while many years ago, so decided to try Salix instead. I've now moved to LXDE and am very pleased to find a range of more unusual packages from other sites. Nedit has been my preferred editor for years, so a great relief to find it available.
I'd like to login to runlevel 3 and invoke X from the commandline. The runlevel change and login worked OK, but startx failed.
Is there documentation on how to start X from the Salix commandline and enter LXDE?
With thanks for any advice. Good to be here.

Run and select the DE/WM you want to use with startx.
Code: Select all
xwmconfig

Hi and welcome!
If you don't want to start gdm on boot and want to log in a console, first edit /etc/inittab and change this line:
to
and reboot of course.
Then do as sammy suggested.

Re: Hello all
Yes, that did the trick! Thanks to both.
I'd forgotten just how simple, elegant and logical Slackware is. A real pleasure to be back with SysVinit and all the other stuff I used to think would never change.
