I've done a lot of looking for this and I cannot find any definitive answers.
I want to have a workstation that is OpenBox (with feh and perhaps pypanel). However, after compiling Xorg and configuring it, I did
mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and now I'm stuck. I have already compiled OpenBox from ports but I don't know how to start it. If I try to startx the default session begins with TWM.
I haven't been able to find any .xinitrc or .xsession (though I am not using XDM) in the locations that people have suggested from other sources so I am assuming that these locations are from before the new Xorg. How do I get started with a .xinitrc in my home directory so that when I startx it will begin with Openbox and not TWM?
