That's it indeed, Yawar Amin: > startx [/usr/bin/]<wm_name> -- :0 ^^^^^^^ It doesn't even need a specific file with yet another command name. But please explain the syntax.
Attempts without the arguments underlined would not open X - complaining about missing "display:", or would at best load only the window manager[s] explicitly defined for/in the X setup and not any other one which might be present and eligible in the "system". And if bash (batch) syntax would be a bit easier to learn, it could be feasible to set up a small script to choose between window managers. // Heimo Claasen // <hammer at revobild dot net> // Brussels 2003-03-20 The WebPlace of ReRead - and much to read ==> http://www.revobild.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
