So what now?
Is it being used? I found when I disabled XDM, all my personalization in .xinitrc was ignored. I moved them to .xsession, and all worked as before. Others have mentioned that their system is exactly opposite to mine, so try moving them to .xinitrc Here's some additions to your startup file (whichever you end up with). Note the mentions of .Xclients, .xmodmap, and .Xresources; I use .Xclients to start up the _applications_ I want running in X. ---------- 8< snip ------------------------------- #!/bin/bash # userresources=$HOME/.Xresources usermodmap=$HOME/.xmodmap xclients=$HOME/.Xclients sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap # merge in defaults and keymaps # if [ -f $sysresources ]; then xrdb -merge $sysresources fi if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then xmodmap $sysmodmap fi if [ -f $userresources ]; then xrdb -merge $userresources fi if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then xmodmap $usermodmap fi xset s off env > ~/.xenv if [ -f "$xclients" ]; then . $xclients fi exec /usr/bin/fluxbox # exec /usr/bin/fvwm2 ---------- 8< snip ------------------------------- -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
