Re: [Notion-general] notion with xdm

[moaxcp <mo...@gm...>]

I figured it out after reading about the XSession program and looking at
the code gentoo has in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and this is what I did.

* copy /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to ~/.xinitrc
* make ~/.xinitrc executable
* create ~/.xsession
* add export XSESSION=notion to the top of the file
* add any other commands you need to execute
* add ~/.xinitrc as the final command

I also edited /etc/X11/Sessions/notion to point to /usr/local/bin/notion
rather than /usr/bin

So now I have my system one step further. Thanks for pointing out the
.xsession file for me.
