A few questions on setting up WindowMaker.
I just installed WIndowMaker and a few dockapps. I have auto mount set and working in xfce4, but now that I got wmaker running it does not seem to be completely working, automount that is.
I have a multiboot system, windows 10, 2 Linux distros, and now FreeBSD on my laptop. The hdd that is holding FreeBSD is being shared with a data storage partiton (slice) it is ext4 due to Linux was here first. In xfce4 I can get to it via the file-manager pcmanfm, just click into filesystem/media/data1 where it is at via automount.
I do suppose the quick fix would be to mount it in fstab, but I have thus far had no luck mounting drives in here (FreeBSD) in a terminal. So I doubt I'll get that done in fstab without a little help to do so. If I click into pcmanfm in /meida when I am in wmaker I get nothing. well now I do, I just tried it again.
anyways, how would I just mount it in fstab to have it mounted read write so my user can just write to it when needed?
ada0s1 would be the one to mount as ext4 labeled data1. that should just put that slice in the file manager when opening it up and gain read write access to it, yes? as it is in xfce4 I have to use su to get anything copied into that slice. In linux I mount it in /media but here in FreeBSD /media is a default for automount, would that case an issue if fstab mounts it in /media as well?
2. touchpad : how to turn it off? In Linux I use this in my autostart
in FreeBSD I don't see anything for a touchpad, or touch screen in xinput.
as the touchpad is hazardous, even when I started trying this, palm can slip over touch pad , menu pops up, selects text deletes text, user (me) gets upset, now everything I typed is gone, now i have to start over again.
with awk in here I seen that it does not print just the first collum if
it just printed everything out in one line and what? so I installed gawk and it did the same, I have not looked in to ow to gawk only seen it is used in here too, that was just a shot in the dark try. anyways.
Updating Wmaker menu? what programs are there for that one? ( i have not looked into that one yet, just got wmaker installed):
Okay I just installed menumaker, but it just hangs when I use it.

2. touchpad : how to turn it off? In Linux I use this in my autostart
Code:
#Shutoff touch pad and touch screen
xinput set-prop $(xinput | awk '/TouchPad/ {print $6}' | cut -d= -f2) "Device Enabled" 0 &
xinput set-prop $(xinput | awk '/Digitizer/ {print $7}' | cut -d= -f2) "Device Enabled" 0 &
Code:
$ xinput
â¡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
â â³ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
â â³ sysmouse id=7 [slave pointer (2)]
â â³ Mouse id=8 [slave pointer (2)]
⣠Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
â³ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
â³ kbdmux id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
