0 [Backtrack 5 R1] Automatically starting X with GDM or KDM

Since quite some people asked I played around a bit and here is how it is working:

Since BT5 won't use the SystemV system anymore but upstart you have to at first run:

apt-get install kdm
or
apt-get install gdm


Afterwards edit the file /etc/init/kdm.conf or /etc/init/gdm.conf depending on what you decided to install.
 
 Edit the contents so that it reads:

... script export XORGCONFIG exec gdm-binary $CONFIG_FILE end script

Should do the trick. For KDE it should be

exec kdm (instead of gdm-binary $CONFIG_FILE)
