Ok, I tried adding a line that said "enlightenment" in /etc/X11/window-managers and I still got the not //.xsession file message. Using Phil's .xinitrc, less the TrueType stuff, worked fine. What am I missing in the /etc/X11/window-managers? TIA -- Greg. "Eric G . Miller" wrote: > > Of cours

Of course, you shouldn't need an .xinitrc or .xsession at all in a user's home directory. To specify the default window manager, just make it the first entry in the file /etc/X11/window-manages. The system wide Xsession should also live under /etc/X11. If it doesn't your system is broked.

Hi all, although I'm not so familiar with such things I've dowlnloaded the recent xfree86 version 3.3.5 from xfree86 org pages because of the voodoo banshee support in that version. I followed their download and installation instructions and managed the first errors and problems - but at the end
