Are you able to run /usr/X11R6/bin/startx successfully and do you get a X setup you are satisfied with? If so then just copy the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc or your .xinitrc (if you have one) to your $HOME/.xsession and make it executable (chmod 755 .xsession). Then run by hand /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -daemon If logging in and such all works put that line in /etc/rc.local That's all there is to it. The file $HOME/.xsession-errors is a good location to look for possible errors. If you mean other special things like starting a Chooser, maintaining other servers etc. consult a book on X, e.g. X Windows System User's guide (O'Reilly) and/or peek at the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm. > > Thanks, > > Juan > > -- > ____________________________________________________________________ > > Juan Savioli > > International Research Centre for Computational Hydrodynamics (ICCH) > Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) > > Agern Alle 5 Tel:+45 45 76 95 55 > DK 2970 Horsholm Fax:+45 42 86 00 68 > Denmark Email: jcs@dhi.dk > > ____________________________________________________________________ > --Chris Christoph P.
