Hi Chaps

Found this forum and post as I was googling how to do exactly the same thing as the OP.

I have xorg installed
I have firefox installed

If I manually ssh to the box and run

DISPLAY=:0 firefox -kiosk "URL Here...." &

Then firefox loads in kiosk mode with the webpage as expected.

However trying to get it to work automatically at boot fails every time. I followed the instructions below

Try this. Create a file (pick any name you like) containing the following:

Code: [Select]

DISPLAY=:0 firefox &Place that file in  ~/.X.d
When you start X, the  ~/.xsession  file should execute that command after Xorg starts.

however when i reboot the file has disappeared from the X.d directory

I know a lot of Tinycore stuff doesn't survive a reboot, but I'd expected this too as thats the whole point.

Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

thanks in advance

Did you make a backup to save the file in ~/.X.d?

of course it would help if i actually did a backup wouldn't it......

So the basics,  open a kiosk mode firefox with a specific url is working

I'm having very little joy with any of the other parts i need to accomplish so lets start one item at a time

the kiosk browser opens and its not full screen

I'm using a 16:9 screen that support 1920x1080

and i get a circa 0.5" black screen to left and to the top
at the bottom I have a 2" black bar and to the right circa 6"

any suggestions appreciated, I've exhausted my google fu skills
