Ah. I used vga=normal, then "grml-x -mode '1024x768' -module i810
fluxbox" and all was well. It's gorgeous! :-) Questions &
suggestions (this is all while running from CD, btw):
- How do I get a left-handed mouse? 'xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 4
5 6 7 8 9"' works but confuses the heck out of already running
apps (I've a 3 button ps2 mouse).
- XConsole is one annoying app. Running it from X you get "Couldn't
open xconsole". I usually do "su" (no dash) then run it from a
root command line, then exit. This (su, no dash) uses the user's
~/.Xauthority. Doing this in grml, trying to exit out of the root
login, I get "You have running jobs.", and exit fails. Drat. Do
I have to use nohup? Or will one of your brilliant zsh tricks
(RUNASROOT) solve this?
- Dillo fires up with the grml start page when logging into X.
Re-running Dillo starts up with a Dillo start page. You should
change that to go to the grml start page.
- I forgot to check. What's i810rotate do?
- I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to steal your .zshrc :-) Tres
cool!
