When you run: startx. Startx reads information from .xsession. This is how my .xsession looks like: --- #! /bin/sh xscreensaver & if [ -x `which wmaker` ] ; then exec wmaker elif [ -x `which twm` ] ; then exec twm else exec xterm fi --- Just change the exec wmaker to exec <your windowmanager>. -- Kind regards Björn Johansson http://bounce.to/amigafreak
