 |
|
Prior to having a fancy DM installed, startx would bring up a rather generic set of 3 rectangular X terminal windows. For X troubleshooting reasons I would like to be able to circumvent my usual DM and, instead, open those generic windows instead.
Does anyone have an idea of what I'm thinking about and how to make it happen?
Thanks!

Create a script called "mystartx.sh" with the following:
| Code: |
#! /bin/sh
X &
export DISPLAY=:0
xterm &
exec twm
|
Then chmod +x the script and run it "./mystartx.sh". |
