Wah!Cade 0.99pre8 "Could it be?"

bloodyviking77:
do you need to be running gdm? if you're going straight into X then I would have thought gdm is unnecessary and you could just "startx" with wahcade set to run in your .xsessions file?

I'm actually in the process of (maybe!) changing my cab over from a framebuffer/SDL only setup to run X (mainly so I can run zinc as well as mame - its a slow CPU!).

Whats been holding me back (other than lack of time and a dodgy ethernet cable that needs replacing) is managing the X session appropriately. I don't really want a heavy window manager so have been looking at ratpoison and awesome ... but initial tests haven't been very encouraging (squashed windows and generally crappy appearance). blackbox is next on the list to try ...

boxman:
Aha! I knew there would be a better way, thanks! If wahcade ever works without a window manager this will be perfect but for now I will be loading openbox then wahcade.

I tried blackbox but it seemed to load a bit slower than openbox, plus it has that bar on the bottom too. Pekwm might be good for this purpose but I haven't tried it yet because openbox works ok.
