I just edited the .xinitrc file in my home directory, and use |
| 25 |
xdm. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
cat .xinitrc |
| 28 |
#!/bin/bash |
| 29 |
/usr/bin/xbindkeys & |
| 30 |
#/usr/bin/xterm & |
| 31 |
/usr/bin/wmaker |

It seems that your wmaker is crashing when you start it (goes |
| 34 |
back to the login screen). |

Do you use wmaker from portage? There are two important patches |
| 37 |
incuded which dont come with wmaker from the original source. |
