If the system is to boot into X by default, Open <code>/etc/inittab</code> as root, change the following line:
</p>
<pre>
# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:3:initdefault:
</pre>
<p>
To this:
</p>
<pre>
# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:4:initdefault:
</pre>
<p>
This sets your default run-level to 4, which is Slackware's "graphics-only" mode (with one extra tty open, just in case, on vty6). Save, and on your next reboot, the system will boot into a nice graphical login.
</p>
<p>
You can manually enter run-level 4 by entering, as root, <code>init 4</code>
To select or switch between available desktop environments, run <code>xwmconfig</code> as root (<code>wmconfig</code> from CLI)
