1. I am using fluxbox with FreeBSD 5.1, but I was wondering, if I want gkrellm to open when fluxbox starts up, which file do I modify?

2. Also how do I set my default screen resolution? Right now its at 1280 x 1024 but I would like to make this 1152 x 864 (I think thats the size).

Thanks in advance!!

I imgine the file to modify is ~/.Xsession

and to change resolution, either specify manually in /etc/X11/XF86Config or by using 'xf86cfg' within x or 'xf86cfg -textmode' in a shell or out of x

You might be better off adding the gkrellm executable to your .xinitrc like so:

[code:1:f2d1bb4416]
exec gkrellm -w &
exec fluxbox
[/code:1:f2d1bb4416]

couldn't remember which, .xsession is available for such an action though isn't it? apologies if my answer was incorrect.

I added those to my .xinitrc but the only thing that is loading from it is fluxbox here is the code:
[code:1:f8831b1a94]exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/Eterm-x --buttonbar 0 --scrollbar 0 -c grey -g 100x50+0+0 &
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/gkrellm &[/code:1:f8831b1a94]

Any where else something maybe overriding this?
