- HI all... I am having two problems with X. The first is that
- X will not come up if I have a .xinitrc. Without it, I have no
- problems, but as soon as I create one I get the following error.
-
- xinit: Interrupted system call (errno 4): Client error.
-
- But this happens even if I comment out all of the lines in
- .xinitrc My .xinitrc looks like...
- OPENWINHOME=/usr/openwin; export OPENWINHOME
- PATH=$PATH:$OPENWINHOME/bin
- HELPPATH=$OPENWINHOME/help; export HELPPATH
- if -z "$MANPATH" |; then
- MANPATH=/usr/local/man:/usr/man; export MANPATH
- fi
- MANPATH=$MANPATH:$OPENWINHOME/man
- twm &
-
- I don't understand as all except for the last line was taken
- straight from the README for XView, which is my next problem.
-
- I had this problem before and I did something that made it
- work. Only problem is I don't know what I did. Anyway,
- when I enter all the commands in my .xinitrc by hand
- and run olwm instead of twm, XView starts up. My background
- turns blue and it opens a window that has a width of half the
- screen and seems to go on forever lengthwise. I can grab the
- handles and window and reposition and resize it, but that's about
- it. Also, it I click my right mouse button for my control
- panel, all I get is a white line about 1" thick that goes the
- length of the whole screen. When I ran olwm these are the
- errors I got. Sorry it's so long but I'd rather be complete.
- any help is very needed. Thanks, and happy new year...
