[Klug-general] Running a script @ StartUp (Ubuntu10.04)

[Alex Layfield]

Tried .xinitrc & .xsessionrc...

I think correctly...

Do I have to run any upd8ing script after fiddling around?

Am leaving her house now, to recuperate...

Still in need of help...

Does this have anything to do with udev?

I'm not sure, but try executing the script in ~/.xinitrc or more
likely, ~/.xsession

(you might need to use 'exec TouchOff' (without quotes))

I don't have Ubuntu nor Gnome/KDE!
