Hello all,
I just received FreeBSD 4.0, and I am trying to get X Window (in particular,
xdm) to read my .xsession file.
First, here is my .xsession file. This one is from another machine
I have running FreeBSD 3.4:
#!/bin/sh
# $XConsortium: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.4 91/08/22 11:41:34 rws Exp $
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
# merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi
if [ -f $userresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usermodmap
fi
# start some nice programs
xterm -geometry 80x24-240+180 &
blackbox
It is not reading my .xsession file, so everytime I try to login,
xdm just returns me back to the login screen. I checked to make sure my
.xsession file was executable (it was-- chmod 544), and even tried linking
.xsession to .xinitrc (didn't work). Startx runs fine with
any of my installed window managers, so I at least know that X Window
is working. Could this be a problem with my path (or lack thereof)?
Thank you in advance!
