There are several different ways to start up X11. Probably the simplest for you is to create a $HOME/.xsession file. The xdm/gdm/kdm/lightdm processes will use it if the file exists. Create it with the following contents. Create this ~/.xsession file: #!/bin/bash --login if xrandr --query | grep -q DVI-I-2=3B then xrandr --auto --output DVI-I-2 --right-of DVI-I-1 fi exec x-session-manager Then make sure to make the file executable. chmod a+x ~/.xsession The '#!/bin/bash --login' part if your login shell is /bin/bash and it ensures that your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile is read just the same as if you were logging into the system otherwise. Then your PATH and LANG and other variables will be set as you desire. The 'x-session-manager' is a Debian package specific symlink handle that always points to the currently configured window manager. This could be any of gnome, kde, lxde, xfce, fvwm, twm, openbox, or any of the others. It depends upon what you have installed. A system default. Of course you can also specifically call out one of your desired desktop environments or window managers explicitly. You can see what is configured with: update-alternatives --display x-session-manager Bob
