I had done this a LONG time ago, but the rules changed a bit since then. It turns out it's VERY easy, but note that this is a fully-updated CentOS 5 system. The method varies somewhat with v4. Open the file /etc/gdm/custom.conf with a text editor and go all the way to the bottom. You should see a section labeled "[servers]". Add the following lines after the [servers] header: 0=Standard 1=Standard Save the file, restart X ( telinit 3 ; telinit 5 ) and you should have a GDM on both VC7 and VC8. The default (stored in /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf) is to start up only display 0 and run a greeter, so there is only a "0=Standard" line in the [servers] section there. Putting these lines in custom.conf overrides that section of the defaults.conf file. The comments in defaults.conf are pretty informative, so you might pick up some other tidbits there.
