bsyuni Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Due to the lack of the system resources I prefer stay with console mode only but sometime I have to use X-Window. Therefore I set init=3, so I can start X with startx. By the way I have two desktop manager. The one is gnome and the other is window maker. Sometimes I prefer start with gnome but sometimes I also would like to start wmaker. I tried to use ~/.xsession but in my MDK 10.0 O.E. box I did not have one at all; I mean even similar one. :unsure: If you have a tip or any recommendation, please let know. Thank you in advance. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 try installing Xtart. then when you boot... instead of using startx... use Xtart to get a selection of your installed desktops to choose from. ( I believe it is bix "X"... little "tart" .... case sensitive ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 You can also create a ~/.xinitrc file, even if it only has 2 entries. Create it something like this: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/startgnome #exec /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker Then when you want to start wmaker instead of gnome, remove the # from that line and add one before the gnome line. Then startx will start wmaker instead of gnome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 That's exactly what I do here, but with gnome, kde, flux and enlightenment. Here is my .xinitrc file: xmodmap ~/.xmodmap export LC=C export LC_ALL=C exec gnome-settings-daemon & #exec startkde #exec fluxbox #exec gnome-session #exec xmms & exec enlightenment Of course I don't keep changing wm or dm all the time.
