Hi All,
I am still a Linux newbie despite having it installed on my PC for months...

I've forgotten how to enable the graphical login screen on my bog standard
SuSE 7.0 install.
Can someone please tell me, I know it'll be a simple thing :-)

Background:
The graphical logon wasn't set up automatically because YAST2 couldn't
autoconfigure my monitor so I installed with no Xserver support and ran Sax
to sort it out - which worked fine.

I then (somehow) toggled the graphical logon screen on and all was
cool...until yesterday when I changed the default run level (I have a
network card that isn't plugged into anything and wanted to stop whichever
daemon it is continuously looking for the DHCP server - so I set the default
run level to "1" - which in SuSE is multi-user no network support. This
suits me fine at the moment.

I've had a quick look round inittab but quickly got out of my depth :-(

Thanks for your help
RobM

ps. Sorry I didn't make it to the last meeting. How did it go?
