I have found a solution to this, so i will post it here for any one interested, and for my own future reference. I am doing this on Beaglebone Black Debian My application does not have a GUI yet so i will be running it from terminal, so here is what i have done. edit /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart # comment out lxpannel and pcmanfm, and add the following #@lxpanel --profile LXDE #@pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE @xset s off @xset -dpms @xset s noblank @lxterminal -t NameOfTerminal -e Path/To/Executable/myapplication the above lunches lxterminal with parameters at startup running the application, replace @lxterminal with application of your choice, another example is @chromium --kiosk --incognito http://www.google.ie this will lunch chromium in kiosk mode, be sure to have wifi enable to make use of it. at this stage the terminal has all its menu buttons, which does not look well, so i edited the following /home/debian/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml in <applications> <application name="lxterminal"> <decor>no</decor> <maximized>true</maximized> </application> this removes the decor and maximize the window, to remove the menu buttons edit .config/lxterminal/lxterminal.conf that should give us a nice kiosk type application. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
