You can do it in:
stock/dist/bin/startx.tpl
stock/extra/local/opt/bin/localsession

    I think its a win console app...not sure. I launch it from a dos prompt
    on my 2k machine, but the "core" uses openGL to render out the pictures.
    But this is'nt really the problem, I have the software working. The 
    problem
    is I cant automate it. Booting the thin  client with a monitor and 
    keyboard allows
    me to launch my script from a terminal window in xfree86 local sesssion 
    and it runs.
    In the final set up there will be 10 diskless thin clients running 
    without monitors
    keyboards or mice, just power cord and ethernet cable. So I have to set 
    it up so
    hitting the power button is all thats required. I thought I could 
    simply attach my
    script to the end of the rcS file but then realized that it needed to 
    access the X11
    display so thats no good. My question is there something im 
    overlooking? maybe a
    user level init somewhere that would allow me to have a terminal window 
    open
    in X11 at start and run my script?
    
    Thanx again for the help!
