I hadn't considered that xwmconfig changes with the versions. Of course, it's been a long time since I upgraded to 14.2 and I've forgotten a lot of details. to start X and Xfce you simply $ startx DO NOT RUN startxfce4 DIRECTLY!!! I don't. startx is an alias in ~/.bash_profile. Make sure that the new X and Xfce stuff from 15.0 is installed in /etc and you did NOT copy ANY old settings from 14.2. Nope. All 15.0. Much thanks, Rich

Use the default one for 15.0. 1. exit Xfce 2. make sure logged as your normal user, no GUI or X running, and not as root 3. run "xwmconfig" 4. choose any OTHER desktop, hit OK 5. run "xwmconfig" again, choose Xfce, Ok This will copy the correct startup script from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.xfceto ~/.xinitrc. Don't monkey with it or use an old one from 14.2. to start X and Xfce you simply $ startx DO NOT RUN startxfce4 DIRECTLY!!! Make sure that the new X and Xfce stuff from 15.0 is installed in /etc and you did NOT copy ANY old settings from 14.2. Have fun! -Ed
[PLUG] Loading ~/.Xmodmap on laptop
This has been an issue with me on all laptops I've owned: despite ~/.xinitrc containing: #!/bin/sh # $XConsortium: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.4 91/08/22 11:41:34 rws Exp $ usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap /usr/bin/xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap userresources=$HOME/.Xresources sysmodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap #if [ -f $userresources ]; then #xrdb -merge $userresources #fi virtual consoles do not load it when I startxfce4 and open v.t.s. What am I missing? TIA, Rich
