HI
I am very new on Xorg and X11 technology, but I think there is a
problem with the xinit system, here is the story :
When I compiled the xinit from the source code with these options on
the configure:
./configure --without-twm --without-xclock --without-xterm
Everything works fine , but at the end the file xinitrc in
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
-no &
-no -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
-no -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
-no -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
-exec no -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login
Usually the output without these options is :
-TWM &
-XCLOCK -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
-XTERM -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
-XTERM -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
-exec XTERM -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login
I was checking the xinitrc.cpp and discover that these are global
variables and at some point on the configure.ac there is that problem(
instead of no -geometry the line should be deleted).
If this is a bug I am more than happy to try to fix it.( or if I am
calling it wrong please tell me ) I did a personal patch , but is not
the clean way to fix it . Something like:
[ -x /usr/bin/startxfce4 ] && /usr/bin/startxfce4
Same for xclock and xterm
All the feedback is more than welcome
Regards
Victor Rodriguez
