If i wanted window i would just install windowsxp or maybe vista would be more like Kde any how i digress. I am tiring to set up wdm and added this line to my /etc/ttys ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/wdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure followed the instructions below found on the fulxbox site but it does not quite work http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_add_fluxbox_to_wdm I get the wdm ok beasty is there, very cool backgound i might add, seen it used in a theme somewhere. No matter what i pick for a windows manager i get the stock Freebsd one wmaker i think? u know the one with the terminal and green menu bars very vanilla. An exception to this kde still works and failsafe gives me control of the terminal window bottom right. Also i removed a bunch of managers out of the wdm-config file as i was not using them like this. DisplayManager*wdmWm: wmaker:enlightenment:gnome:kde:fluxbox I still get failsafe and wmaker where do us suppose these come from. Kde still works but not enlightenment gnome or flux box please help ----- Original Message ----- From: Norberto Meijome To: RYAN M. vAN GINNEKEN Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 4:51:43 AM Subject: Re: kdm and fluxbox RYAN M. vAN GINNEKEN wrote: > usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession > > notice this file is for XDM, not KDM. try searching in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/kdm :) > WHERE IS KDM GETTING ITS SESSION INFO FROM AND HOW DO I TELL IT TO ADD FLUXBOX > > not sure, probably from its config file. Or just set it to custom, and use ~/.xsession to launch your stuff at will. Just curious, why use kdm with all it's KDE dependencies, when you can use xdm, or wdm (what I use).
