X and Fluxbox :: Running a Command Line At Fluxbox Startup
I am using DSL as a windows emulator via redesktop. I was wondering how can I get fluxbox to automatically launch an application when the computer boots? Seems like a simple task?
Thanks!It's probably simple, although I don't know anything about rdesktop. The standard way of starting applications with fluxbox is to add them to ~/.xinitrc:
application & another_application & fluxbox

Where is that file located exactly? I appologize I am a total linux noob. That's cool...I assume too much sometimes. Whenever you see a file path that starts with ~/ or $HOME/ it is always referring to the current user's home directory. In this case it would be /home/dsl, so ~/.xinitrc is /home/dsl/.xinitrc.
Since the file begins with a dot, it is a 'hidden' file, which means you probably can't see it in emelfm until you press the "H" button (toggle hidden files).How would I run "modprobe sb" at startup. I added it to .xinitrc, but it doesn't execute. When I do it manually, I have to be root. So, if I add these lines in .xinitrc, will it work and would I be running fluxbox as root?
