Here's the Right Way(TM) to do this:
echo '#! /bin/sh' > ~/.xsession
cat ~/.xinitrc >> ~/.xsession
chmod +x ~/.xsession
# edit /etc/ttys and uncomment the line for xdm
su root -c 'kill -HUP 1'  # or reboot

Just try it and find out!

But yes, you only need to put it in your .xinitrc. I don't even have a
.xsession.. so I'm not sure what its for.

I've never actually used exec to start a wm, just put:
fluxbox &
in .xinitrc, along with other things I want to start.

2003-07-28 Thread marlon corleone
how do i boot graphically in fluxbox?

im booting up fluxbox in startx method, if i want to
boot it in graphical mode, should i COMMENT this
entry:

exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox in my .xinitrc  and put
the entry in .xsession, is that all i have to do? 

thanks and more power BSD lover.
