Yes. Not only automatic startx, but the solution to all of life's problems should be as easy as adding it to .bash_profile. At any rate, I did solve getting my computer to autologin, with the help of http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=16348 It seems that editing /home/user/.bash_profile, and editing /etc/inittab, is necessary. Further, using rungetty rather than getty is also helpful, apparently. Briefly, for the autologin, in the /etc/inittab file, I changed the first line from: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 to (note, my user is "mark"): 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/rungetty tty1 --autologin mark and, for both starting x, and, specifically, starting fluxbox as I've set it up, I added the following to .bash_profile: if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && [ $(tty) == /dev/tty1 ]; then while [ 1 == 1 ] do startx /usr/bin/startfluxbox sleep 10 done fi Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
