Wow, what a beautiful machine. In fantastic condition.

So there are separate motors on each of the axis? Should not be that difficult to retrofit LinuxCNC to it. You should be able to leave that lovely antique Heinhain control untouched, and just make up a separate LinuxCNC Controller with connectors for all the cables.

ok I made a file called cnc.desktop in ect/xdg/autostart.

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/home/cnc/Desktop/Ecat5.desktop
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enable=true
Name=CNCMILL
Comments=Start Linuxcnc Ecat5 mill.

It doest seem to work on a restart. Do i have to point it to home/linuxcnc/configs or something? how do i tell linuxcnc which config to launch?

Thank you MaHa! That did the trick. I messed with the lightdm.conf last night but I didn't know what i was doing, got scared, and changed it back to how it was.

RotorySMP, im gonna try the auto-launch next.
