>>Hi,
>>
>>Well my peeweelinux project is now all but finished. It's looking great,
>>using peeweelinux with bootx and an updated kernel, an 800x600 TFT +
>>touchscreen on a SBC. All my net drivers and touchscreen drivers are
>>working, although I had to revert to standard vesa framebuffer drivers
>>together with the XF86_FBDev X server because of a problem with my
>>hardware
>>configuration and the SiS drivers for my particular graphics/lcd setup.
>>
>>Together with Netscape and the Flash 5 plug-in this will be used as an
>>easy
>>to use interface for other hardware (flash still leaves a bad taste in my
>>mouth though...)
>>
>>I have one last question on my configuration. I need a driver program in
>>/usr/bin to run automatically on startup before startx is called. This
>>driver creates some custom devices in /dev and it appears to need to be
>>ran
>>as root. I have tried adding the program to .bashrc in /home/autologin but
>>this doesn't work. I have also tried creating /etc/rc.local , and trying
>>rc.sysinit.
>>
>>At the moment the only way is to stop autologin running startx, and
>>manually
>>'su root' then run the driver program and then exit the root shell and run
>>startx manually...
>>
>>Where can I specify in the startup scripts to run this process ?
>>
>>Thanks for all your help, I will remain subscribed to this list in case I
>>can help anyone else with the experience I have had.
