Starting X

• To run the X windows system, you will need to set up an .xinitrc file (if you don't already have one)
  • This is a way to configure what clients you want to start when you start X.
  • If you want the full KDE environment (much junk)
    • your file should contain a single line

      exec /opt/kde/bin/startkde
      	

    • Just use your favorite editor, and add this line.
  • If you want something less overkill

    xterm &
    twm
           

  • This starts two programs, an xterminal and a window manager.
• run startx

  % startx
      

  • If things are fine, X will start, if there is a problem, it won't
