Thanks Geoff I tried Yast but it did not seem to change anything, the fault was still there. I have d/l the latest afterstep. It's a tar so probably won't install knowing my luck :) I'll let you know how it goes David afterstp-1.8.4-22 On Wed, 14 Nov 2001 08:18:47 +0000, Geoff wrote:
I am afraid that beats me, I have never used the graphical login. One point that does occur to me though is that in my version of YAST there is an option under System Administration > Configuration of Susewm to create default configuration files for various WMs, including Afterstep. If your YAST has that option you might try checking to see that the Afterstep option is checked. As a rule, however, if Afterstep does not find a configuration file in the useres /home it uses its own default, so that may not be the problem.
Also, you might want to check which version of Afterstep is on the CD. The format of the configuration files changed radically at (as I recall 1.4.4). If the CD version is earlier than that I would not bother with it anyway. The current version is 1.8.10. The Afterstep site is www.afterstep.org.
I have a feeling that the steps I recommended in my earlier post, involving ..xinitrc, would probably work even though you have a graphical login, but I really don't want to make things worse for you by recommending that you go ahead without being certain.
Sorry I can't be more help.
Geoff
