how to let slackware directly boot into xdm instead of text console?

csstrike

I want to have xdm shown after slackware finished booting, how should I do?

you can edit /etc/inittab file  ,like this :
.....
# These are the default runlevels in Slackware:
#   0 = halt
#   1 = single user mode
#   2 = unused (but configured the same as runlevel 3)
#   3 = multiuser mode (default Slackware runlevel)
#   4 = X11 with KDM/GDM/XDM (session managers)
#   5 = unused (but configured the same as runlevel 3)
#   6 = reboot

# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)

对，slackware和别的发行版不同，直接进入X用的是init 4，而其他发行版多数用init 5
