.xinitrc

[sheek]

i need someone to post the contents of their xinit file so i can get blackbox to start

I got it before by installing wmaker and then just editing the file but i don't want windowmaker this time

Mmm, wait, do you mean .xinitrc file or xinit file? If it's .xinitrc you want, just erase the wmaker line you have in there right now (or any line in there) and add

exec blackbox

I don't think you even need the exec either :)

Have fun

I'm pretty sure you do need the exec command. exec cause the command executed to overlay the existing shell, but if you just run blackbox it will fork into a new shell. Well you may be able to get away with i (I've never tried) but you want your windows manager to take over the existing shell.
