Simple fluxbox problem??


Hi!

I had a .xinitrc file in /etc/X11/xinit/

but I deleted it by accident!!

Everything still runs fine.. but I've found that fluxbox takes a little longer to load than it did before. Are these problems related?? If so, can you tell me what my .xinitrc file should look like and I will remake it?

Thanks!

Are you sure that you .xinitrc file wasn't a symlink to .xinitrc.fluxbox? That script basically configures a few things and then issues the command to startup fluxbox as well as commands to start things like dockapps.

Actually it probably was - but I don't know how to set it up again!

Could you give me the code or command?

Thanks!

If you have the file .xinitrc.fluxbox in your X11/init directory (or wherever it is in Red Hat), you just need to type (probably as root since the permissions for that stuff are most likely restricted for users)

ln -s /pathToDirectory/.xinitrc.fluxbox /pathToDirectory/.xinitrc

If you don't have that file in your x init directory and you really did delete the original you can probably find one for Red Hat by doing a Google seach for ".xinitrc Red Hat" - lots of people post their configuration files in cyberspace.... Then you may need to tweak it a bit for you particular setup.
