<p>198.144.206.95: </p> <hr /> <div>This configuration file, which should reside in your home directory, tells [[startx]] what to run aside from starting the X server and client -- e.g., a desktop environment like [[KDE]], [[gnome]], [[xfce]], etc.<br /> <br /> If you want to start KDE, you'll have to put this line in it:<br /> exec startkde<br /> <br /> If you want to start XFCE, you'll have to put this line in it:<br /> exec startxfce<br /> <br /> If you want to start Gnome, the line is:<br /> exec gnome-session<br /> <br /> If your [[.xinitrc]] has one of these lines in it, it will execute the Desktop Environment when you run [[startx]]. Otherwise you'll have to run startx and feed it the Desktop Environment as an argument or run the desktop init script manually. <br /> <br /> Another approach is to alias the desktop script to another command in your shell profile; such as placing <br /> alias gui='startxfce' <br /> in your .bash_profile will let you start XFCE by typing in &quot;gui&quot; from the CLI.<br /> <br /> [[Category: FreeBSD for Workstations]]</div>
