My .xsession starts a couple apps and backgrounds them (so that they are always started up each time I start XFree86). It also runs the script that starts a window manager on the second head, and then starts a window manager on the first head. Note that the window manager is not backgrounded, since if the .xsession script exits, then the X server will quit as well. > Also Anyone know where I can learn about the XF86config options etc. > syntax? man XF86Config should work on most distros.. however, it may not cover all of the available options. My best bet has been search mailing lists for people with similar configurations and go from there :) Good luck, -- Ryan Underwood, <nemesis at icequake.net>, icq=10317253 _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
