# Slackware in kiosk mode.
 
  The following method is for booting straight into an image slideshow:

  1. Allow anybody to run the X server from a terminal:

	- Create file /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config:

		allowed_users = anybody
		needs_root_rights = no

     Warning: This is less than safe  (See man Xwrapper.config)
 
  2. Add to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local startup script:

	su - username -c "/usr/bin/startx -- -nocursor " &

     This will start X server as 'username' without mouse pointer.

  3. Configure the user .xinitrc:

	export XAUTHORITY=/home/username/.Xauthority
	export DISPLAY=:0
	xset s off
	xset -dpms
	xset s noblank
	exec /usr/bin/blackbox &
	feh -FD5 ~/Pictures

  4. ???

  5. profit!

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Older method:
  
  1. Boot directly into X as user 'username' without entering password:

	- Cd to /etc/rc.d/ and make a backup of runlevel rc.4 init script.
	- Empty rc.4 and put the following as the only entry:

		#!/bin/sh
		su - username -c "/usr/bin/startx"

	- This will boot the system directly into 'username' X-session.

  2. Set up your kiosk environment:

	- In ~/username create an .xinitrc file to define which application(s)
	  you'd like to run in your kiosk:

		#!/bin/sh
		/usr/bin/setxkbmap de &
		/usr/bin/kioskbrowser
		sudo /sbin/telinit 0

  (The 'telinit 0' command shuts down the system after the previous application 
   exits. The command is run as 'username', so set up sudoers to allow this.)
