Running programs at X startup & Keyboard issue


I have slackware 9.0 and fluxbox running on it. I'd like to know how could I run programs at X startup?

My mouse is very slow in fluxbox. Command 'xset m 5 5' helps a lot but I'll have to run it every time in terminal when I start usin fluxbox. How could I run this command automatically at startup?

I tried to add that xset m 5 5 to my /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.fluxbox this way:

#!/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 the window manager:
xset m 5 5
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox


But that didn't work at all. Could someone please tell me how to do this correctly?



My another problem is a keyboard issue. I'm using finnish keyboard map. Scandinavian letters Ä,Ö and Å aren't working properly. I can type them and I can see them in webpages. But when I'm using Xchat client other people see my Ä,Ö and Å as a ?. This is really strange 'coz I can see their and my Ä,Ö and Å normally.

Here's my keyboard section at /etc/X11/XF86Config

**********************************************************************
# Core keyboard's InputDevice section
# **********************************************************************

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "Keyboard"

Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
Option "XkbLayout" "fi"

EndSection


My keyboard is a freaking old ICL.


I'm hoping someone could help me.

Yes....I managed to solve this keyboard issue. Xchat didn't know how to handle those ä,ö&å. I tested Irssi and those letters works just fine with it.

Google is god.
