Actually, the symlink isn't necessary; just the .xsession . With a stock startx, and system xinitrc and Xsession files, startx will (eventually) call your .xsession (assuming it exists, .xinitrc does not, and /etc/config has allow-user-xsession set).

RE: [Q] ~/.xinitrc is not being read
Yes, that is what I found yesterday -- besides being named .xsesion, the file needs to be an executable -- it does not need to have #!/bin/bash -- however.

I believe that the .xsession script must also be executable. The first line in the script should be "#! /bin/sh", then do "chmod +x .xsession" (or do this to .xinitrc if you use the symlink method) - Sten Anderson -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: [Q] ~/.xinitrc is not being read
That's because only xinit uses .xinitrc. Makes sense, huh? You need to put things you want to start into your .fvwm2rc.

[Q] ~/.xinitrc is not being read
Hello, I use now xdm to login into the system -- however it seems like my ~/.xinitrc is being ignored. I specify there xsetroot, fvwm2 &, and other stuff -- but nothing seems to be picked up. Is .xinitrc valid when using xdm -- or do I have to use something else now? Thanks, Vladislav -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
