Hi all,
I am now running Linux and Xmame. I built Xmame with full screen
support and it is working pretty well. My primary problem right now is
that I want to boot up the machine and directly in to the front-end
program without having to log in to Linux. Advice?
Here is my current mode and thinking. I can boot the machine and I get
the red hat GUI login prompt. At this point I and thinking that X
windows is running. True? Or is the GUI getty program not X windows,
per se, and XWindows starts after I log in?
I also believe that I need XWindows running in order to run xmame in
full screen mode. Someone please correct me if the X server does not
need to be running in order to launch Xmame in full screen mode.
So I tried to start my front end program by modifying
/etc/rc5.d/S99local and invoking my front end at the end of the script.
This did not work. Though I am launching the front end late in the
daemon startup sequence this is probably failing because X starts even
later. True?
What's the best way to hook into X at boot and skip login?
Thanks,
John
