Screen stays black after modifying .xsession
« on: December 16, 2011, 12:03:14 PM »
Hi,

I have a German keyboard and changed it according to the official howto.

If the altgr symbols do not work in the browser or openoffice then modify the .xsession file by adding:

sleep 3 && xmodmap -e "clear Mod4" -e "add Mod5 = Mode_switch" &

Just before

exec "${DESKTOP:=jwm}"

Or, in later versions, right after waitforX.

I added this line after waitforX and now the screen stays black, help appreciated.

Does anyone have the original .xsession, if I delete this line and make a backup, I still get a black screen,
I don't know why...

The original is in /etc/skel.
