I have been trying to get bbkeys and imwheel to start automatically. When I used kde, I just put a link to imwheel in the startup folder. But now that I use bb things are diff. Most howto's will tell you to add bbkey to your ~.xsession file. This works great if you don't use gdm. But gdm passes an arguement to the x startup script /etc/X11/Xsession. If no arguement is passed to Xsession it starts x and whatever else is specified in your ~/.xsession file. The way it is supposed to work is that people who run blackbox would have a .xsession: "blackbox bbkeys" a kde user would have : "startkde" etc. The Xsession script is setup so that if no arguement is passed to Xsession, and a ~/.xsession file does not exist, kde is automatically started. Because gdm always passes an arguement (which wm you want to use), .xsession is never executed. So I edited the file /etc/X11/Xsession so that if you use gdm to start your wm, it will check ~/.xsession anyways, and run it and the arguement gdm passes. So if you use gdm to start your wm (anyone who has storm's graphical login) you should not specify a wm in you .xsession file. Here are the contents of my .xsession file: "imwheel bbkeys" If you would like to look at the /etc/X11/Xsession file I created it is here: *note: for some reason netscape adds some javascript to the bottom of it. The last line should be a 'fi' http://playstation.webhostme.com/Xsession.txt if you do use bbkeys, or would just plain like to map your window keys, it is a different procedure from the howto's out there. Create a file ~/.Xmodmap with the mappings. Here is mine: "keycode 115 = F30 keycode 116 = F31 keycode 117 = F32" The /etc/X11/Xsession script will automatically add the mappings everytime you log in. If you would like all of your users to get this, add it to /etc/X11/Xmodmap. Please correct me on any errors I may have made. I got all of my information from my own testing, and analyzing. If you replace your /etc/X11/Xsession witht he one at http://playstation.webhostme.com/Xsession.txt, use it at your own risk, although I have used it for 2 days now and no probs. If you do use this script and don't have an ~/.xsession file, nothing will happen, this will act like they currently do. -- ...elbows out, stick on the ice! _______________________________________________ Stormlinux-users-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stormix.com/community/lists/listinfo/stormlinux-users-list
