  Hi, I'm trying to follow the wiki
screencasting guide:
 http://apps.linuxaudio.org/wiki/screencasttutorial
 however I don't get how Xephyr should work. I just get a big black
 window. That's probably because I just removed the
 "/etc/X11/Xession" line, but I don't have that file (I'm on
 Archlinux). I tried substituting it with "xinit" (how I normally
 start X) but that didn't work too.
 how is it supposed to work?
 cheers,
 renato

 Hello Renato,
 Which DE are you using?

 only openbox wm 
 Even though it doesn't really matter anymore (since you're not going
 to use Xephyr) but you could try xinit /usr/bin/openbox-session as
 mentioned in the Arch wiki. But you probably have an .xinitrc file  
uh yes and quite a populated one ;)
...
 so
 you shouldn't get a black screen. Anyhoo, probably works better
 without using Xephyr.

Ok, I'll give it a shot at editing the wiki
best wishes,
renato
