How to run program without WM on fullscreen

U

User7

I want to turn on some program without Window Manager, but Firefox start at 1/4 surface of the page :( What I should to do if start fullscreen? Resolution is set correctly.
 
Use the standard X geometry option:
Code: 
firefox -geometry <width>x<height>
Unfortunately there is no way to just say "fullscreen"; you have to give pixel values.
 
Yes, I was set into .xinitrc

Code: 
exec /usr/local/bin/firefox -geometry 1600x900-10+10
and firefox now is at central off the screen
 
If you want Firefox to start at the screen resolution your using, the command would be /usr/local/bin/firefox -geometry 1600x900+0+0 assuming that is the screen resolution being used. You need to adjust the geometry in your command accordingly. For example, if you have a panel at the top of the screen that is 20 pixels wide vertically and you want Firefox to open using all remaining desktop space, the command would then be /usr/local/bin/firefox -geometry 1600x880+0+20. See the X(7) man page for more information on geometry

If you want to execute Firefox on startup/login, maybe consider creating a small startup script to call from xinitrc to give X a chance to fully startup before Firefox is started.
