<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi group</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My VDR box currently starts up like a regular
Fedora Core user, auto-logs-in and starts xine - much like I expect most of you
do.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm looking for a way to make all the X startup and
log in invisible to the user. This is where my knowledge of X and gnome
falls down.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ideally, once the initial kernel messages have
completed I'd like a VDR splash screen (maybe even a progress bar) as things
start up.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How do I do this? I've been looking at
modifying xinitrc and xinitrc-common to remove the desktop manager, but this
seems a bit brutal.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas or thoughts?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>
