/etc/sysconfig/autologin looks like:
AUTOLOGIN=yes
EXEC=/usr/X11R6/bin/startx
USER=rmeyer

When I set it up with the Mandrake Control Center, it installed a package.
I'm not sure what it installed but it was on the first CD.  I'm at work and
can't spend a lot of time on it.

Hope that helps...

cheers!
