/usr/bin/numlock /usr/bin/fluxbox If I remember correctly, I did test with twm prior to initially posting the problem. But I'll use twm for all future testing. My guess is also xterm. I replied to a post yesterday that I had tried rxvt. That's true, but in retrospect, I believe I brought it up from an xterm window - hence, not much of a test. What about xinit or startx? Xinit is the same size on 7.4 and 7.5 but startx differs. I responded to another post that I have great confidence in my ability to make mistakes. That is unfortunately true. I initially missed the libXft-2.3.1-freetype_fix-1.patch in the Xorg libraries which caused problems with my xclock. Xinit requires twm, xclock, and xterm. However, I quickly re-ran the Xorg libraries with the necessary patch and xclock came up. I also restored my raw LFS image and compiled X from square one (several times) before posting. X starts, and everything works but for the xterm prompt and inability to source. I bird-dogged the compiling of every package. I also had a friend check from twm on this morning. If there's an error, we're just not seeing it. But with that said, there very probably is an error we're just not seeing. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
