# Login manager Starting slackware with login manager, instead calling `startx` from the terminal. Open `/etc/inittab` and replace ``` id:3:initdefault: ``` with ``` id:4:initdefault: ``` BTW: Not sure if this is right, but... When using `startx`, the file `.xinitrc` will be loaded. When using a loginmanager, the file `.xsession` will be loaded.
