hello every one
i have been trying to run apache2 at start up as a system service
so i 've been playing with the run level editor
the next time i boot in my gui system didn’t start at all i got the console prompt asking for log-in user and password
however i was able to start the x gui system after logging in as root using the “xstart” command but i want it started before i log in so i can get the normal gui log-in window
here’s a screen shoot of my run level editor

ok world
i have the following services
xdm disabled runlevel = 5
xdm.orig disabled runlevel = nothing
i need to enable the xdm to start just after booting
Mine (in detail mode) says, at top) 5: Full multiuser with network and display manager;
When on the xdm line, at the bottom (service will be started in following runlevels) = 5 (with an “X”)
After setting it and “OK”, a reboot should go straight through to the desktop.
Does this help?
