That twm session is the default (see end of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc) |
| 8 |
if you don't specify what you really want. The xdm display manager |
| 9 |
checks in ~/.xsession for the stuff you want to run (i.e. fluxbox), |
| 10 |
but startx uses the file ~/.xinitrc for the same purpose. You could |
| 11 |
probably just copy .xsession to .xinitrc for starters. |

I have these lines in my xorg.conf but I can't remember when or why I |
| 27 |
put them there. I believe it had something to do with evdev, though. |
