Hello world, Could it be that the .xinitrc file in my home directory is ignored ?
Reason I ask is that I have added in the .xintrc file in my home directory the following (near the end of the file) : # # Add your own lines here... # xmodmap -e 'keycode 96 = EuroSign'
However, after my user-session is started, key 96 still renders the F12 function and not the eurosign. When I go to shell and give the same command then it works OK.
So, my preliminary conclusion is that the .xinitrc file in my home directory is ignored at startup of the session. Is that possible ? If so, how could I remedy that ?
TIA and HAND,
Hi, Jan
Just a wild guess here. Is your .xinitrc executable? What did "ls -l ~/.xinitrc" say? It should be at least executable by the owner. Try "chmod u+x ~/.xinitrc" and relogin. HTH -- Yongtao Yang email: yongtao.yang@telia.com
