Hi:
put an .xinitrc file in your home - that's the quickest you can do.
Usually the xinit files are located in:
/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit (X11 is a link to X11R6)
But that depends on the setup of the server at compilation time.
For quick startup you might use:
---<Snip> -----------
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/X11/bin/xterm &
exec twm
---<End> -----------
This is my .xinitrc (note, that I'm using fvwm):
---<snip here> ------
#!/bin/sh
# $XConsortium: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.4 91/08/22 11:41:34 rws Exp $
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
# merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi
if [ -f $userresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usermodmap
fi
# start some nice programs
xsetroot -bitmap /usr/X11/include/X11/bitmaps/gray
# To run twm: exec twm
exec fvwm
-<end of .xinitrc>---------------------------------
