After some thought. You're using startx? Read the man page for startx and find out where it's getting it's default configuration from. I don't use startx so I don't know, but I assume it looks for a .xinitrc in your home directory. Failing that, it looks in a couple other places for a system default. It's finding one somewhere and I assume you're getting twm or some other window mgr. You can either copy that default config file to your home dir as .xinitrc and change whatever window mgr the file calls to afterstep. Or write your own .xinitrc. Thusly: ############# # # ~/.xinitrc # My X Config # ############ #!sh afterstep You'll need this file sooner rather than later. There are other things that should go in here. Read the xinit manpage, the startx manpage. On 24-Jan-99 Chris Browning wrote: > I'm kinda new myself, but I'll see what I can do here.
