Yeah, but you should NOT do that. Instead, create a directory
(~/.xinitrc.d) and fill it with executable files that you want to
get
sourced by the system xinitrc (see /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/
xinitrc.d/
98-
user.sh)
If I want a remote window manager to take control when X11
starts up
(don't want twm or quartz-wm to start), how would you recommend
doing so
without making a private .xinitrc file or editing the system-wide
/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc file to remove the startup of the
local
window manager and other "nice programs" (i.e. xclock, xterm)?
See this link:
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X11-
UsersFAQ#WantanotherX11.appserver
I was able to create a copy of the X11.app and get it to start
with my
"xmodmap" commands and "xterm" command in a shell script in
/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d, however, it appears that even
though I
made a copy of X11.app, the preference settings (i.e. Full-screen
mode)
are common between both X11 server applications.
You forgot to change the CFBundleIdentifier in Info.plist. See:
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X11-UsersFAQ#WantanotherX11.appserver
No, I didn't forget to change the CFBundleIdentifier in Info.plist.
As a
matter of fact, I created a shell script that checks the environment
variable, X11_PREFIX_DOMAIN and it took the correct actions for this
copy
of the X11.app (named X11-OpenVMS-CDE.app)and the default actions
occurred
when I launch the supplied X11.app. However, the menu bar still
displays
just "X11" when I have launched the "X11-OpenVMS-CDE" copy
That's expected becasue you presumably didn't change that in the
Info.plist. If you want to change that, you need to edit the
Info.plist again to make that change.
and changes to
preferences from the menu bar in either the "X11" or "X11-OpenVMS-CDE"
affect both applications.
That shouldn't be the case. What preferences are you seeing in both
that are identical? What's your CFBundleIdentifier for the new bundle?
You should really not heed to change your keymaps. I'm still not
sure
why you're doing that.
The reason for changing the keymap is because there are numerous X11
applications on OpenVMS platforms I support that make use of keypad
function keys (PF1-PF4 which on a standard PC keyboard are NumLock,
"/",
"*", and "-") in combination with the other keypad keys (0-9, ".",
"+",
"Enter", which map to KP_0, KP_1, ... KP_0, KP_Decimal, KP_Enter,
etc.).
On an external Mac keyboard, the "Clear" key is in the position of the
"NumLock" and, by default, generates an "Escape". I want this to
generate
"KP_F1". On the Mac external keyboard, the keypad "0", "1", "2",...
"9"
keys generate "KP_1", "KP_2", "KP_3",..."KP_9" keysyms. I need to
have
equivalents on the builtin keyboard. That is why I was trying to
find a
way to combine the "fn" key with the "1", "2",..., "9" keys on the
keyboard
to generate "KP_1",...>
You should be able to by using the laptop's numlock (sometimes Fn-F6,
I think) and pressing the appropriate key on the laptop keyboard.
