The documentation is worthless like I said.Heres one solution that I found:
Quote: The proper file to change is /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, not ~/.xinitrc like it says in the help files. There are already existing files that instruct X how to start. Edit this file and change the final line (which is likely exec "some window manager") to exec fluxbox
Oh, also delete the .xinitrc file that you created. The problem comes about because the .xinitrc file in ~ is taken first over the proper one in /etc, but there are other things in the file besides the window manager. |
Well.heres my /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# (c) 1999, 2000 Red Hat, Inc.
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
userxkbmap=$HOME/.Xkbmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/Xmodmap
sysxkbmap=/etc/X11/Xkbmap
# merge in defaults
if [ -f "$sysresources" ]; then
xrdb -merge "$sysresources"
fi
if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
xrdb -merge "$userresources"
fi
# merge in keymaps
if [ -f "$sysxkbmap" ]; then
setxkbmap `cat "$sysxkbmap"`
XKB_IN_USE=yes
fi
if [ -f "$userxkbmap" ]; then
setxkbmap `cat "$userxkbmap"`
XKB_IN_USE=yes
fi
if [ -z "$XKB_IN_USE" -a ! -L /etc/X11/X ]; then
if grep '^exec.*/Xsun' /etc/X11/X > /dev/null 2>&1 && [ -f /etc/X11/XF86Config ]; then
xkbsymbols=`sed -n -e 's/^[ ]*XkbSymbols[ ]*"\(.*\)".*$/\1/p' /etc/X11/XF86Config`
if [ -n "$xkbsymbols" ]; then
setxkbmap -symbols "$xkbsymbols"
XKB_IN_USE=yes
fi
fi
fi
# xkb and xmodmap don't play nice together
if [ -z "$XKB_IN_USE" ]; then
if [ -f "$sysmodmap" ]; then
xmodmap "$sysmodmap"
fi
if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi
fi
unset XKB_IN_USE
# The user may have their own clients they want to run. If they don't,
# fall back to system defaults.
# run all system xinitrc shell scripts.
for i in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/* ; do
if [ -x "$i" ]; then
. "$i"
fi
done
if [ -f $HOME/.Xclients ]; then
exec $HOME/.Xclients
elif [ -f /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients ]; then
exec /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
else
# failsafe settings. Although we should never get here
# (we provide fallbacks in Xclients as well) it can't hurt.
xclock -geometry 100x100-5+5 &
xterm -geometry 80x50-50+150 &
if [ -x /usr/bin/netscape -a -f /usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html ]; then
netscape /usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html &
fi
if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2 ]; then
exec fvwm2
else
exec twm
fi
fi
Well,what do I have to change?
