Haven't used gdm in a while. Couldn't you use slim? Figure that would be easier. And in any case, for a simple task like this I wouldn't recommend using a GUI anyway. Its just (if I remember correctly) 2 lines to be changed.
I like having the GUI option too, but this is an easy fix. Your /etc/gdm/custom.conf should look something like this: *************************** [daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=user_that_will_be_logged_in [xdmcp] *************************** On Thu, 2009-12-03 at 18:03 +0800, Ng Oon-Ee wrote:

Does Slim support I18N, I want to a Chinses Translation. If so, I will throw away GDM :)

Doubt it, you can browse their website at http://slim.berlios.de/ to see if I missed anything.

AFAIK there's no configuration gui available for the current version of GDM. Edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf to contain this: [daemon] AutomaticLogin=your_username_here AutomaticLoginEnable=true /ndlarsen
