Re: [Newbie]Is this all there is to XFree86?
Technically, isn't that twm fired up on startx? I believe it is, and then would be a window manager.. the Tab Window Manager:) I know it's semantics, but I couldn't help it:) Chuck
Re: [Newbie]Is this all there is to XFree86?
Hi, Oisin: Thanks. Yes, I do not have a Window Manager. I am running Slackware v8.0 but I did not install any x* during initial setup. I'll check for packages that match wm*.tgz, then kde*.tgz and gno*.tgz. Regards, Chuck "Oisin C.

[Newbie]XkbSymbols and Keysym
Hello, I have a Logitech itouch keyboard. When I put in my XF86Config file: Option "XkbSymbols" "inet(itouch)", I get the following errors: (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config" expected keysym, got XF86Search: line 9 of inet expected keysym, got XF86Standby: line 11 of inet expected keysym, got XF86AudioLowerVolume: line 12 of inet expected keysym, got XF86AudioRaiseVolume: line 13 of inet expected keysym, got XF86AudioMute: line 14 of inet >From what i can tell, the above errors occur when X is parsing the /xkb/symbols/inet file. When i run xev, it can't find the keysym for my internet keys either: KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x261, root 0x3b, subw 0x0, time 3399130790, (379,683), root:(383,703), state 0x10, keycode 178 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: "" KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x261, root 0x3b, subw 0x0, time 3399131520, (379,683), root:(383,703), state 0x10, keycode 236 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: "" Thanks for any help you may be able to provide :-) Matt ___ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie

In the xterm try a "ps -ax | grep wm", "ps -ax | grep -i "gnome", "ps -ax | grep -i kde" and report what the results are. If there's nothing at all then you haven't got a WM running or a desktop manager. These are what provide all the nice decorations and backgrounds. You could then (initially from the xterm, but later from your distro-specific scripts) run something like WindowMaker, or go the whole hog and run a desktop like Gnome or KDE. Check to see how your distro prefers to do it by reading their release docs.
