http://www.linuxforums.org – I was having an issue with XDM not starting my session whenever I used any kind of dhcp client so I have been using startx with fvwm2 in the .xinitrc file. I put 'su - matthew -c "startx" &> /dev/null' in /etc/rc.d/rc.4, but to me this seems like the wrong way of doing this. Is there any better way to set the environment and run startx as a normal user at boot? (HowTos)
