Last week I did a ftp install of 6.3 first time i've done that and it was great....... I didn't have any problems with 6.2 with startx but with 6.3 when I do startx only kde will come up even if i do a startx enlightenment or a startx windowmaker I know they are installed properly. I've looked at rcconfig initrc etc what do I have to do to get this to work properly. It's not that I don't like kde I do I use it alot but I also use windowmaker and enlightenment. Any info much appreciated Ian BTW I just compiled kernel 2.3.99 with netatalk support and now it's on our mac network very coool. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Make sure you make a backup of your .xinitrc before you do this, in case you want to get the SuSE installed version back, since this command will completely overwrite that file.

look into /etc/rc.config. The default setting is to start KDE. There is the environment var "WINDOWMANAGER". But Don't ask me -it's in the archives and discussed a gazillion times- what is executed when you log in from the Asci console or the KDM/XDM console. (.profile, .bashrc, .xinitrc- at least one of them. Usually it's one of the others. I never know ;-) ) Juergen -- =========================================== __ _ Juergen Braukmann juergen.braukmann@gmx.de| -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb@db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu | /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ===========================================_\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
