Hi Pete, you could always put settings like these into your $HOME/.xinitrc, that's where I have stored those settings. -- Christoph AUR, IRC: kritztopf BBS, Github: kritter

I don't think that kdm uses xinitrc by default. You'll have to make it use xinitrc. It supports xsession i think. Maybe try symlinking ~/.xsession to ~/.xinitrc. -- O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org

Humm well that dont work either . think the easiest way is going to be get rid of KDM and use startkde or something having looked at kdmrc i dont think i can stick it in there this is becoming a spoiler ..

Have you tried putting it in /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup That should be the way to do it with kdm, at least according to this webpage: http://maketecheasier.com/run-startup-scripts-in-kdm-before-kde-starts/2011/... -- \Madeye - The box said to install Windows 95 or better, so I installed ARCH Linux! ---------------------------------------------------------- - Registered Linux user #167944 since 2000-02-28 (｡◕‿◕｡) - ---------------------------------------------------------- - Jabber: @@ madeye at jabber dot org @@ - ----------------------------------------------------------

I will give it a try see what happens
Pete .
Right after a bit of hunting the location is /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup I have added it will see what happens next reboot Pete . -- Linux 7-of-9 3.2.5-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 7 08:34:36 CET 2012 x86_64 AMD Phenom(tm) 9600B Quad-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

You can set defaults in xorg.conf. See man xorg.conf Sander

/etc/rc.local is *NOT* started in the X session so it can not set X parameters cron also doesn't start the jobs in the X session ~/.xinitrc is only started when running startx ~/.xsession is unfortunately not run by most login managers What you need is ~/.xprofile which is *sourced* by most login managers before running your *DE session. That's also a place to export some variables that are inherited in all your *DE applications. -- дамјан
