Hi

Has anybody got the BlackBox wm working out of the box with 7.2 ?

It doesn't work for me neither does installing the rpm from 7.1 which worked fine in 7.1

Anybody know of any rpm's for BlackBox that work with 7.2 please ?

Yes, the ones coming with the distribution. How do you start it, what is the problem exactly?

I am using 7.2 with xfree 4.1.0 and KDE 2.2.0beta.

Why is it mentioning KDE?

What happens? Is X with other WM's working? -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A. P. J.

Yes

Gnome, windowmaker and xfce all woirk fine

Errors don't mention KDE, it works as the default.

What if you try this .xinitrc: ---- #!/bin/bash exec blackbox ---- chmod +x it, and of course save the old .xinitrc. Then just startx should give you Blackbox -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A.

Out of curiosity I just tried "startx blackbox" It starts but then I get...

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Blackbox-menu: No such file or directory

And a very boring grey screen, responds to mouse clicks though with a diddy little menu..

When you exit it, you should have a .blackboxrc that was written. What does that say about the menu-file? -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A. P. J.

It says nothing about the menu file.. Cliff
