Hi all,
I am having a problem with Xorg and KDE. I run startx using the following
.xinitrc file
xterm -g 80x40+0+0 &
xclock -g 100x100-0+0 &
twm
startx comes up to a white screen with a square in the middle, and nothing
else. I can't do anything but reboot. I reboot, then re-run Xorg -configure,
and get a gray screen with a movable mouse cursor. I copy the xorg.conf.new to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf. I re-run startx, then I get the the xterm window and the
xclock window. All good right? I close twm, then try rerunning startx. I get
the same blank white screen with a square in the middle.
I change the .xinitrc file to
exec startkde

re-run startx, then KDE comes up beautifully. All good right? I close KDE,

Can any tell me if Xorg / KDE compiled wrong, or did I miss something??

I've had that problem before. I'm pretty sure that the only difference
between the system that had this problem and the one that worked was
that the system with that problem didn't have gettext installed. But
then I'm not an expert and this probably isn't it, but I am sure I
installed X correctly (the same way I had done it several other times)
and just that one time, when I built lfs without gettext, it didn't work.
