Dear all,
I have enclosed parts of 3 files which I have set to try and allow me to alter
the mode the X server starts in - be it landscape or portrait. Unfortunately,
I do not understand the script in "startx" enough to work out why this isnt
working (that file is the default by the way - i havent changed it)
The ~/.xserverrc file has permissions "755".
Please could you assist me in working out why my x server "-layout" option is
not being picked up.
Regards
Gareth Deli
I enclose below, the ServerLayout part of my XF86Config-4 file
# this is the default server layout as is the first one :o)
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "landscape"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
Screen "scr_landscape"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "portrait"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
Screen "scr_portrait"
EndSection
I enclose below, the ~/.xserverrc file
#! /bin/sh
-layout portrait
I enclose below, the first part of my /etc/X11R6/bin/startx file
