Hi Tony, notice a few problems, comments are inline. --- Tony VanScoy <tvanscoy@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I'm not sure of the syntax of setting envvironment > variable in ~/.xinitrc. > > I tried ... > export DISPLAY=":0.0: This is incorrect syntax. What you are saying is: "export the variable DISPLAY as ':0.0: .... ..." there is no end to this string, so it will keep reading, I'm not sure, but it might stop at the newline, but probably not. > exec /usr/bin/openbox > export DISPLAY=":0.1: > exec /usr/bin/openbox > ... > exec DISPLAY=":0.0: /usr/bin/openbox > exec DISPLAY=":0.1: /usr/bin/openbox Same problem here, you are setting the environment variable DISPLAY to ":0.0: /usr/bin/openbox ..." which is incorrect. Try using: export DISPLAY=":0.1" exec /usr/bin/openbox Hope this helps.
