Re: [newbie] Got X started, now how to start Gnome?
Hi Anthony! On a console in KDE type "switchdesk" and then choose "Gnome". You can also type setup as root and choose "Desktop Configuration", the last entry if I remember right. > I finally got that second X session thing to work for me (that "startx -- :1" > thing).

Re: [newbie] Got X started, now how to start Gnome?
Anthonywhen you enter kde type alt-f2, enter the command switchdesk, and press enter. After you accept the gnome choice and close the switchdesk window you'll be prompted to shutdown x and restart. So, log out and do the startx -- :1 again and you'll come up in gnome. Alan Anthony Huereca wrote: > > I finally got that second X session thing to work for me (that "startx -- :1" > thing).

Re: [newbie] Got X started, now how to start Gnome?
You can start it straight from the text console : xinit -e gnome -- :1 Or first start a "nude" x session : xinit -- :1 And then, from the xterm that will appear (put the mouse cursor in it to give it the focus), start whatever wm you want to try (enlightenment, blackbox, gnome, window maker...)

Check, or add a ~/.xinitrc file. Inside that file should be the following format: #!/bin/bash exec /usr/bin/gnome-session -=Ron=- -Original Message- From: Anthony Huereca [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2000 3:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Got X started, now how to start Gnome?
