running xmms as user

[Olivier Fourdan]

Mike

Here is how I do that:

I've created the file "/etc/profile.d/xorg.sh" containing that single
line:

export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1

And made it executable. This way, every time I log in, the variable is
set up properly (you need to log out/log in to get that to work the
first time).

HTH
Olivier.
