Are you running Aurora for the standard Mandrake graphical bootup? If
so, you need to edit /etc/rc.d/rc, and make sure there is a line that
looks like this:
export DISPLAY=:1
about 1/4 of the way down the file, under the comment/heading
# Start Aurora output
Actually, to give you the whole context:
# Start Aurora output
exec 3<&0
exec 4>&1
exec 5>&2
if [ -n "$aurora" ] && /sbin/Monitor query ; then
/usr/bin/chvt 12
export DISPLAY=:1
exec < /etc/aurora/output
exec > /etc/aurora/input
exec 2>&1
...(etc.)
Hope this helps. I am running Mandrake 7.2, I dodn't catch if you were
running the same version or not. If not, the code may be a little bit
different - I don't know.
