Login Manager other than the one for KDE for Slackware 15.0 - Tried SLiM already which denies network configuration
by Mankind75 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6KQVB)
Dear Slackware Users,
I am running an old netbook "eeepc HA 1005" which AFAIK has an Intel graphics chipset for graphics.
One issue that I am facing is that for login on Slackware 15.0 I get a KDE login which redraws a lot of times when entering the password for the individual users which makes the system feel a bit sluggish (which it is not - Slackware is great work).
I have been researching the wiki a bit for alternative lighter window/login managers (I am pretty sure that this is not the right term) and came across
https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:window_managers:slim
SLiM still compiles fine and I could create a package out of it and installed it, rebooted did "xwmconfig" to create a new file but once inside XFCE etc. I couldn't configure networking (WLAN) anymore as I apparently had no authorization to do this.
I had a look at the Wiki author's profile but he doesn't seem to be no longer visiting this forum so I was wondering if anyone could help me out.
Have a good day,
Mkd75
