034. I am trying to get X to read my window manager's configuration file but with no success.

If you start X with "startx" or "xinit" then you need a "~/.xinitrc" file containing a command to execute your window manager and make the file executable with "chmod u+x .xsession". If you start your session with xdm though, your file will have to be named "~/.xsession" instead of "~/.xinitrc".

 

Continue to:

• prev: 033. I am trying to build a new kernel. Why is it that "make menuconfig" does not display any colors when running under an xterm?
• Index
• next: 035. Are the modules part of the Linux kernel or are they distributed separately?

Share and Enjoy
