Need startup script help(mandrake9)
 
I want to use xscreensaver as my screensaver app(mmm xmatrix...) but am a little lost. I saw somewhere that editing /etc/rc.local was the thing to do, but it doesn't look too friendly. So if anyone has any advice it would be appreciated.

You want that in your user's account.

How do you start up your gui? If you use startx, it's simple. Make a file in your home directory, .xinitrc and put something like this in it
Code:
# fancypiper box user phil .xinitrc file
exec xscreensaver &
exec kde
xhost +local:
#exec gnome-session
#exec gkrellm -w &
#exec fluxbox
You can do that with the file your login looks at if you use a gui login

man xdm
man gdm
man kdm

Read for the login manager you use.

Yeah, I figured out what I wanted since I posted this.
