[SOLVED] Using gdm, how to make commands run when x starts?

Hello World!
I am running arch on a Thinkpad T400, and would love to be able to scroll using the middle button and the trackpoint. I found this article: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_co … TrackPoint
and it says to insert some commands into .xsessionrc. The thing is, I'm not sure where .xsessionrc is, or if arch even uses .xsessionrc. (It said it would depend on the distribution.) I tried putting it in .xinitrc, but apparently that only runs with the command "startx", but I'm using a display manager. (gdm). In this thread:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=85714
the person was told to put the script in .kdm, since he was using that display manager. Is there a similar place for gdm where these commands will run at startup?
If anyone is curious, here are the commands I need to run:
xinput set-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 1
xinput set-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 2
xinput set-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Timeout" 200
xinput set-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes" 6 7 4 5
Any thoughts, hints, suggestions, or solutions would be appreciated.

You should copy the global file to the location cookies indicated, and then modify the local copy.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Aw … ation_file
Arch wiki wrote:Whenever compiled, awesome will attempt to use whatever custom settings are contained in ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua. This file is not created by default, so we must copy the template file first:
It's a good idea to leave that template config file alone (the one in /etc/xdg/awesome), so that when you break your local config (and you will, trust me) you have the template file as a backup.
You might want to read the wiki page for awesome, and also consult the awesome wiki.

How to make it selected when clicked and open popup

Hi,
I 've a form in the parent page with many form elements.
I've 2 radio buttons with values "Yes" and "No". I am opening a modal popup when clicked on "Yes" radio button. The modal popup is opening fine.
But when I click "Yes", it' s not selected. After modal popup is closed, when I return to parent page, the option "Yes" is still not selected.
How to make it selected when clicked and open popup?

Perhaps try moving the application to your preferred desktop and then right-click it's dock icon > options > Assign to This Desktop.

How do i stop programs from automatically running when i start up my macbook?

how do i stop programs from automatically running when i start up my macbook?
programs such as.. email and Skype.
When i go to system preferences, then users & groups, then to my name, log in items ....this box is clear, i have unchecked everything, yet things still start up......

sometimes these applications will have a setting in the preferences to not open on login of computer. If you see none of that, you can go into:
system preferences> Users & Groups > Select your user>Login Items.
unlock the settings by hitting the lock icon on the bottom left of the window then youll be able to uncheck these things from opening when you log in.
Hope this is helpful or answers the question.

how can make a room from my start up disk in in mac pro

Only you can decide what you want to delete to free up space on your PB, Personally I think you'll find 17 GB won't go very far when you start to add video.
Consider an external drive. Don't forget if you let your free space fall below 10% of the total size of the drive you will risk corrupting your directory structure or causing other damage which may result in a loss of data.

I am using I Photo 4.0.3. When I start it, loading pictures never ends and I cannot use I Photo; What can I do?

I am using I Photo 4.0.3. When I start it, loading pictures never ends and I cannot use I Photo; What can I do?

When did this begin? Did you run any updaters just before this began and, if so, what were they?
That's a very old iPhoto version so give this a try:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down.
2 - select Options #3 and #4.
4 - Rebuild the library.
If that fails to help continue with this:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I am doing a daily backup using Robocopy and Scheduled Tasks running Windows 2012 Server. When it runs, robocopy runs in the background and does not write to log that I am pointing to. How can I make it run in the foreground? Also, is there anyway to write to log only those records that have been copied or purged? what are the best practices for robocopy use?
Here is the script:

How to make silverlight run on my mac

I have to download microsoft silverlight on my mac. Once I do how do I make it run?

Microsoft Silverlight IS a Plugin
If your iMac is an Intel iMac and running, at least OS X 10.5.7 then you can install this plugin.
If you are running OS X 10.5.7 on an older PowerPC iMac, Silverlight cannot be downloaded and won't work.
Are you using this plugin to view Netflix videos on your computer?
You just download it , it will automatically install itself and it works in the background within the web browsers listed in the page I have linked.
