Running dwm with startx and xinit
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I've moved to dwm. And I now have the following system of workflow.
- Start computer
- Ignore gdm, goto tty2 with Alt+Ctrl+F2
- Run
startx
with the following xinitrc. - Use dwm.
Will there be any problem if I use my computer without gdm, only with xinit like that?
The xinitrc is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
feh --bg-scale ~/Pictures/backgrounds/polygon.jpg
sh ~/Documents/projects/dotFiles/keyboard.sh
compton --config $HOME/.config/compton.conf </dev/null &>/dev/null &
xinput set-prop 'DELL0767:00 06CB:7E92 Touchpad' 'libinput Tapping Enabled' 1
xinput set-prop 'DELL0767:00 06CB:7E92 Touchpad' 'libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled' 1
exec dwm
Edit: I already ran into a problem. I use vifm file manager. When I run programs from normal command line, it runs ok. But if I run it from vifm, a terminal file manager, it doesn't work. Says, can't connect to display server.
