X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2010 23:12:20 -0000 I am having some problems with windowmaker. I am running FreeBSD 8.1-PRERELEASE (STABLE) and I have xorg-7.5 installed. When I first installed everything I just used startx to start WindowMaker. But because The fonts suck I had to add truetype fonts and needed xorg.conf. So I followed the instructions in the handbook to configure X. Everything was going well and Xorg worked for root and for my normal login. but when I created .xinitrc, with the following exec wmaker and then ran startx. I would just get a black screen with a mouse. Now everything was working fine before I used the Xorg configuration instructions and I'd kinda like to get my desktop back. IF there is anywhere I should be looking for more information please let me know. cheers, Brett. ------------------------------------------------------------ This email was sent from Netspace Webmail: http://www.netspace.net.au
