Hi. When you login under xdm, the first thing that is looked for is a file called .xession. It is basically the same as your .xinitrc (just cp .xinitrc to .xsession) and make sure to chmod a+x .xsession. Just to make sure, you can create a simple .xsession file thusly: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm Again, make sure it is executable and try logging in. You should wind up with an xterm without any window manager running. Move the mouse and click on it and type /usr/X11R6/bin/twm &. That should startup twm as the window manager. To logout, just ^D in the xterm. If that worked, then just copy .xinitrc to .xsession, make executable and you should be all set. m -- "You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
