Using the XftConfig approach worked fine for me with my recent Gnome 2 migration. But the following environment variable must be defined as follows: | Code: | | export GDK_USE_XFT=1 |
This won't be happening automatically when your gnome-session starts unless you've got something like this in your ~/.xinitrc file, or even your ~/.xsession file. | Code: | | exec `/etc/X11/chooser.sh` |
.
Note that those are backticks surrounding "chooser.sh". It will capture the output of that script, which will return the correct script name for starting the session for your chosen window manager, provided you've specified it in your /etc/rc.conf file. You could achieve the same effect by doing this: | Code: | | exec /etc/X11/Sessions/Gnome |
but it is probably more correct to use the former method, otherwise rc.conf won't change anything. The reason it works then, is because the "Gnome" script contains the necessary export directive. |
