I've setup my .xinitrc like this: #!/bin/sh # Load your X Resource defaults, if you have them... if [ -f $HOME/.Xdefaults ]; then xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults fi # Set the background color xsetroot -solid black # Turn off beeps xset -b # Turn off screen blanking and turn on energy star features xset...

Another vote for terminus.

'-*-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*' works very well for me, it's my favorite font for terminals and also for dwm, i3 and evilwm.

I think I solved the problem by writing exec startxfce4 in the .xsession file. I'll have to give SLiM a try though. Would it be automatically configured out of the box? The last time I tried Slim it didn't come autoconfigured, you have to edit two files: /etc/slim.conf and your ~/.xinitrc. These ar...

Hi, At the moment there's no configuration support for gfxpayload in /etc/default/grub. See Debians bugreport: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=536453 . But you can edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly. set gfxpayload=1440x900x32 Add the above line below 'set gfxmode=1440x900x32' in you...

toto, After reading your how to I did some more reading and opted for xmonad. thanks again Xmonad is great :) When I was looking for a good dynamic tiling wm I also used Xmonad, it's very good but after that I tried dwm and Awesome and sticked with them :) dwm is also a very good wm and extremely l...

Thanks again for this great howto. I have a question. Can I change the width of the menu? You can change the menu width and height in your theme config file, see below: # Variables set for theming menu # menu_[bg|fg]_[normal|focus] # menu_[border_color|border_width] menu_submenu_icon = /home/toto/....

This howto has just been updated and is almost finished, more to come soon.

I've been rather busy this week but I hope to complete this howto this weekend, stay tuned

This a simple howto for Awesome 3.2 to get you going. Part 1 is about the installation of Awesome, Part 2 will show you how to edit the config file and Part 3 will show you how to use/create themes. Awesome is a highly configurable and fast tiled window manager for X much like dwm, ion and wmii. Sin...

Also, how does awesome get the names of programes? Does it look at the name in the title bar, or the executable name? Or is it some other weird process; because some other programs have the same problem as iceweasel in the awesome rules. I think Awesome uses WM_CLASS for the rules. You can use xpro...

You tried a few things but you didn't try anything case sensitive ;) rule { name = "Iceweasel" tags = "ichi" } works, but rule { name = "iceweasel" tags = "ichi" } doesn't. Some are case sensitive in the rules section and others aren't. Here's my rules section...

I had the same problem, fixed it with this:
Copy and paste this in your favorite texteditor and save it as .asoundrc in your home directory.

An easy way to unmount/eject removable media as user with ivman is to also start ivman as user.

For more info read the ivman manual and also the ivman howto on Gentoo wiki:
