Not that I know of. I already suggested a cli method of selecting the config file when running X via startx, and someone sles suggested the alternative of using symlinks and changing the symlink depending on what display you are using. I suppose you could write a wrapper program for startx (or even modify startx to do this; startx is just a bash script that calls xinit) that asked you what file you wanted to use, then passed on the appropriate command-line argument. I was mainly trying to make sure you were not starting X with xdm. I don't know how one would pass command-line arguments with xdm, since there is no command line in that case. -- -------------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"-------- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, California, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
