Subject: How should the `xorg-start-command' procedure be used?
Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2021 23:24:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87y27ke3ik.fsf@thomaslabs.org> (raw)
Hello everyone,
could someone please explain to me how the `xorg-start-procedure' is
supposed to be used?
I understand it generates a startx script to be used instead of the
default startx that comes with xinit. But the generated script does not
work for me and the logs weren't very helpful.
I know there is an email in this mailing list explaining how to use the
x server without a login manager. Up until now I've been using the
custom startx script given in that email, but I would like to include my
xorg config into my system config.
Currently the relevant part of my config looks like this:
(services (cons* (extra-special-file
"/usr/bin/startx"
(xorg-start-command
(xorg-configuration
(fonts (cons* font-gnu-unifont
font-terminus
font-misc-cyrillic
%default-xorg-fonts))
(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))))
[ ... ]))
