[Solved] Openbox, no mouse and keyboard when startx with*-session"

When i startx with "exec ck-launch-session openbox-session" in .xinitrc my mouse and keyboard do not work.

When i use: "exec ck-launch-session openbox" they do.

If i understood correctly the only difference between the two is that in the fist scenario "autostart.sh" is processed before openbox starts. The only entry in autostart.sh is "fbpanel" also when i comment out all entry's or leave the default ones in, no mouse and keyboard.

I have no problems with mouse and keyboard in lxde, xfce or fluxbox.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as i would really like to build a light environment around openbox!

Solved it myself.

Seems i did not really try with all entry's in autostart.sh commented out and forgot the & behind the "fbpanel" command in it.

This resulted in an Openbox screen with a grey bar where fpanel started, then the system halted, waiting for fbpanel to finish.

Now how do i [Solved] this thread?
