okay then read this http://www.fluxbox.org/docbook/en/fl...ocs.html#AEN91
make sure that when you installed you followed all of the steps paying special attention to section 2.1.3
And read this
http://www.fluxbox.org/docs/en/faq.php#gdm
follow the instructions and, ta-da, you should be able to log right in to fluxbox.
Enjoy

what does you /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Fluxbox file look like?

Devboy · 07-31-2003, 05:32 PM

err here:

#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/gdm/Sessions/fluxbox
#
# global fluxbox session file -- used by gdm

exec /etc/X11/Xsession /usr/local/bin/fluxbox

change the last line to
exec fluxbox
It shouldn't make a difference but let's see what happens.
