Fluxbox

[Landus Mikain]

emerged xorg-x11 fluxbox last night by chrooting from the liveCD. How do I configure it? I rebooted and took the CD out.

your talking about configuring fluxbox or configuring X11 to run fluxbox??

All I know is that I emerged xorg-x11 fluxbox last night and it was finished when I woke up. Had to go to school so I wasn't able to mess much. I just need the GUI to run when the computer starts up.

I used Mandrake before this so switching to Gentoo is a big step.

If I have understood your problem correctly, all you have to do is edit/create the ~/.xinitrc and add:

exec fluxbox

or

exec startfluxbox

dependign on the version of flux you installed.

the, just startx on the command line.

If you haven't configured X yet, just run xorgconfig


Hope this helps.

Right now, I'm not able to work on my computer but I have just one question. How do you edit/creat the ~/.xinitrc?

[microft.pt]

just use your favorite text editor (like vi, vim, emacs, etc..)

i use: vi ~/.xinitrc
