How to choose windows managers
 

Hiya all,

My linux starts up with the console mode, once there ... how could I choose the window manager I want? The prob is that the one which pops up when I type startx is not the one I want to start by default :o/

Thanks!

in your home dir, edit .xinitrc
the first line should point to the one you want to use

xinitrc
 

I have edited the .xinitrc, but here what is written:

exec /etc/X11/Xsession $*

what could I do with that?

well, mine, just for example says:
exec /usr/bin/kde2

not xsession
what wmanager are u wanting to use?

WM
 

I have installed Gnome and Window Maker. Gnome is the one which is launched when I type startx. How could I set Window Maker the default one?

change .xinitrc to say
exec /usr/bin/wmaker
