From what I understand .xsession is only read when logging in with xdm, the graphical login manager, so .xinitrc is the correct file to edit, as others have mentioned.

RE: X startup
Hello, Did you edit your ~/.xinitrc with your user? Try this: exec gnome-session and put it in this file: /home/youruser/.xinitrc where "youruser" is your username.

You'll probably want to copy something from root's to yours. -- Thanks, Charles http://howse.homeunix.net:8080 Random Murphy's Law: In case of doubt, make it sound convincing. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
