Thanks. How do you start X? That command should normally be in ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc, all depending. Personally I put the xmodmap command in ~/.xinitrc, and my ~/.xsession is a symlink to ~/.xinitrc. That way, xmodmap will be executed whether I start X from the command line or use xdm. -- Tore ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You could launch it from ~/.xinitrc for example as: xmodmap.sh exec startkde and in xmodmap.sh you must take care that you set the $DISPLAY accordingly, for example as 'setenv DISPLAY :0.0' and make sure that you let first come up the Xorg and the desktop too, before launching the xmodmap commands; if you use KDE as desktop, like I do, it is more simple to just put your script into the ~/.kde/Autostart/ directory; matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e [EMAIL PROTECTED] - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ «...una sola vez, que es cuanto basta si se trata de verdades definitivas.» «...only once, which is enough if it has todo with definite truth.» José Saramago, Historia del Cerca de Lisboa ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Execute the command when login
My solution: add the command to ~/xinitrc ### content of ~/.xinitrc xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc exec fvwm ### xmodmap must come before exec fvwm, otherwise it take no effect. I tried to put xmodmap to ~/.login as well, but it is not satisfying. When I login, FB complains, as xmodmap has to executed after X starts.

Of course it will not work if you put it after 'exec fvwm' because than it will get executed after fvwm dies and perhaps Xorg terminates; as I said in my post you must ensure to have a proper DISPLAY variable in your environment and X must be up in the moment you lauch any X-application; both are missing in your ~/.xinitrc above; try this: make a file xmodmap.sh with #!/bin/sh DISPLAY=:0.0 export DISPLAY sleep 10 xclock put into your ~/.xinitrc the lines: sh ~/xmodmap.sh exec fvwm (don't miss the '' sign!) and watch if the xclock comes up after fvwm is up; matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e [EMAIL PROTECTED] - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ «...una sola vez, que es cuanto basta si se trata de verdades definitivas.» «...only once, which is enough if it has todo with definite truth.» José Saramago, Historia del Cerca de Lisboa ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
