Or type the following if you use startx to run X, 'WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/kde2 ; startx' I modified the ectry in my .xinitrc file so it now reads as follows if test -z "$WINDOWMANAGER" ; then * if test -x /usr/X11R6/bin/kde2 ; then * WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/kde2 * elif test -x /usr/X11R6/bin/kde ; then WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/kde elif test -x /usr/X11R6/bin/startkde ; then the lines with *'s in front are the lines I added and changed. cr> TIA cr> cr> Corvin cr> cr> cr> cr> -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - www.primenet.com/~tomas SuSE Linux v7.0+ - Kernel 2.2.17 God isn't dead, he just couldn't find a parking place. -- 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/faq
