Need a full screen X application

Sun Apr 17, 2016 5:38 am

I'm setting up an aprs igate on my raspberry pi. I'm using xastir to be the igate and the GUI.

I'm wanting to go as minimal as possible for a window manager. Basically, I want x to auto start then have xastir start after x loads.

Any ideas?

I'm currently trying miwm but I can't figure out how to auto launch a program in full screen.

Eventually the pi will be connected to a small touchscreen.

You should probably look into xinit and .xinitrc to start the program in kiosk-mode completely without window manager.

also... most X-Windows programs can use the "-geometry" option to set size and position of the window. (https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Guide_to_ ... w_geometry)
