SliTaz uses by default the lightweight X server called 1.49 +<code>Xvesa</code> from the Xorg project (<a href="http://www.x.org/">www.x.org</a>). 1.50 +Xvesa can be started with the Slim login manager or directly from a Linux console 1.51 +with the command <code>startx</code>, but for this you must first disable the 1.52 +Login Manager. To reconfigure your X session you can use <code>tazx</code> 1.53 +as root or as the current user if you start X from the command line. 1.54 +</p> 1.55 + 1.56 +<a name="slim"></a> 1.57 +<h3>Slim - Simple Login Manager</h3> 1.58 +<p> 1.59 +Slim is a lightweight session manager that is very easy to configure and is 1.60 +customizable using system themes. The configuration file is found in 1.61 +<code>/etc/slim.conf</code>, it defines window managers available via the 1.62 +<code>F1</code> key, the default user or theme and the X window system parameters. 1.63 +Slim offers special users commands like <code>console</code> to help manage 1.64 +the session. 1.65 +</p> 1.66 +<p> 1.67 +In LiveCD mode you can disable Slim with the boot option <code>screen=text</code>. 1.68 +On an installed system you can remove the package or delete slim from the 1.69 +<code>RUN_DAEMONS</code> variable in <code>/etc/rcS.conf</code>. 1.70 +</p> 1.71 +<p> 1.72 +More details and themes can be found on the 1.73 +<a href="http://slim.berlios.de">website.</a> 1.74 +</p> 1.75 + 1.76 +<a name="jwm"></a> 1.77 +<h3>JWM - Window manager</h3> 1.78 +<p> 1.79 +JWM (Joe's Window Manger) is a lightweight Window Manager, easy to use, fast, 1.80 +stable and insanely configurable. The menu and theme can all be changed from a 1.81 +single configuration file found in your home directory: <code>~/.jwmrc</code>, 1.82 +the file uses XML syntax and the code is nicely colored if you use Geany to 1.83 +edit it. To add an entry in the menu you can use the following example: 1.84 +</p> 1.85 +<pre class="script"> 1.86 + <Program icon="kino.png" label="Kino (Video Editor)">kino</Program> 1.87 +</pre> 1.88 +<p> 1.89 +The <a href="http://www.joewing.net/programs/jwm/config.shtml">JWM Web site</a> 1.90 +has got more information on how to configure the application to your needs 1.91 +and preferences. 1.92 +</p> 1.93 + 1.94 +<a name="enlightenment"></a> 1.95 +<h3>Enlightenment (e17)</h3> 1.96 +<p> 1.97 +Enlightenment aka e17 is a lightweight and fast desktop environment that can be 1.98 +configured graphically. To install e17: 1.99 +</p> 1.100 +<pre> # tazpkg get-install enlightenment 1.101 +</pre> 1.102 +<p> 1.103 +Logout your current X session, type <code>F1</code> at Slim login and choose 1.104 +<code>e17</code> to start Enlightenment. 1.105 +</p> 1.106 + 1.107 +<a name="openbox"></a> 1.108 +<h3>Openbox</h3> 1.109 +<p> 1.110 +Openbox is a lightweight window manager than can be configured using the obconf 1.111 +utility. To install openbox: 1.112 +</p> 1.113 +<pre># tazpkg get-install openbox 1.114 +# tazpkg get-install obconf 1.115 +</pre> 1.116 +<p> 1.117 +Logout your current X session, type <code>F1</code> at Slim login and choose 1.118 +<code>openbox</code> to start Openbox. To make Openbox your default Window 1.119 +Manager just type: <code>tazx openbox</code>. 1.120 +</p> 1.121 +<p> 1.122 +Note: you can also use the configuration file <code>menu.xml</code> found 1.123 +in <code>/etc/xdg/openbox</code> to edit menu items. Here's an example using 1.124 +Htop: 1.125 +</p> 1.126 +<pre class="script"> 1.127 +<item label="Htop"> 1.128 + <action name="Execute"><command>xterm -e htop</command></action> 1.129 +</item> 1.130 +</pre> 1.131 +<p> 1.132 +More information can be found on the 1.133 +<a href="http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Menus">openbox</a> site. 1.134 +</p> 1.135 + 1.136 +<!-- End of content --> 1.137 +</div> 1.138 + 1.139 +<!-- Footer. --> 1.140 +<div id="footer"> 1.141 + <div class="footer-right"></div> 1.142 + <a href="#top">Top of the page</a> | 1.143 + <a href="index.html">Table of contents</a> 1.144 +</div> 1.145 + 1.146 +<div id="copy"> 1.147 + Copyright © 2008 <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en/">SliTaz</a> - 1.148 + <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GNU General Public License</a>;<br /> 1.149 + Documentation is under 1.150 + <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html">GNU Free Documentation License</a> 1.151 + and code is <a href="http://validator.w3.org/">valid xHTML 1.0</a>. 1.152 +</div> 1.153 + 1.154 +</body> 1.155 +</html> 1.156 +
