Hi everyone,

I've search the forums and read XMMS help but I can't answer two questions...

#1 - How do you automatically start XMMS when DSL boots up? I tried editing the /opt/bootlocal.sh script by adding 'XMMS -p' but it doesn't work!

#2 - How do you get the volume in DSL to begin at 100% ? I have set it to 100% and used Backup/Restore but it's not working...

Any ideas guys? Thanks!

Unhide the hidden files. There should be a .xmms/config that you can change the config. You can start apps with .xinitrc in this part->

case $DESKTOP in
fluxbox )
/opt/wmdrawer/start_wmdrawer &>/dev/null &
xset +fp /opt/fonts/artwiz-aleczapka
wmsystray &>/dev/null &
xset s 300 300 &>/dev/null &
fluxter -w &>/dev/null &
wmswallow -geometry 60x60 docked docked.lua &
exec fluxbox 2>/dev/null

Add it in like this->

case $DESKTOP in
fluxbox )
xmms &>/dev/null & <---- add this
/opt/wmdrawer/start_wmdrawer &>/dev/null &
xset +fp /opt/fonts/artwiz-aleczapka
wmsystray &>/dev/null &
xset s 300 300 &>/dev/null &
fluxter -w &>/dev/null &
wmswallow -geometry 60x60 docked docked.lua &
exec fluxbox 2>/dev/null

kerry -

Thanks so much. This little trick not only worked, but I can take all of my other CLI calls out of bootlocal.sh and consolidate them here.

But I'm still trying to figure out how to get more control over volume in general automatically after boot. Any ideas on how to set the Master and PCM volume to 100% (or whatever value one needs to)?

Could someone please explain PCM vs. master volume? I'm just not sure what PCM means and how it relates to the master volume?

What is the application that runs/controls volume in the lower right hand corner of the UI? Is it called dMix? Any control over this software? I didn't see anything in .xinitrc or any .dmix config file.

Thanks and sorry for all the questions!
