What am I doing wrong? Do I have to kill xdm? Make sure that your ~/.xsession is executable. user:~> chmod u+x .xsession Also make sure that in /etc/X11/config that there is a line that says something along the lines of 'allow-user-xsession' (I'm not on my linux box right now). Otherwise, users are stuck with the system Xsession. You shouldn't have to restart xdm. > > Alberto Ruiz > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > On Thu, 15 May 1997, Alberto Ruiz wrote: > > > > > I did a search for .xsession and it was not found anywhere on my system. > > > Isn't > > > xdm or any of the other Xwindow program suposse to create it or a least > > > come > > > with templeates or default files? > > > > You create one in your home directory.
