- Hi all,
-
- After being unsuccessfull with getting Xfree86 to run (even with the help of
- a few helpfull replies from people on the net, thank you all very much,:-)),
- it seems as if another post would be the direction to go.
-
- For some reason that I have been unable to discover, when 'starx' is run , the
- only thing that is put down is the xclock icon and the wire frame of a window.
- After this, the only thing I can do is kill the server. No input is accepted
- from the mouse or keyboard.
-
- I've looked at the faq and other readmes also. From what I know (very little,
- obviously), everything proceeds smoothly until the end of .xinitrc is reached
- and then the server won't talk to the xterm window.
-
- If this is what is happening, could someone point me the way out of this, or
- give me some other ideas about what is happening?
-
- thanks much,
- -frank
