X should create a new one when it is started next if such happens. If the file exists already delete it and it should create a new the current file might be corrupt. > And this once: > > /usr/X11R6/bin/startx: line 140: xinit: command not found Not seen that one before but you may not have a default window manager uncommented in the file that controls those things. Personally I use .xinitrc which is a file I created and in mine I tell it to launch X with a black background and call selectwm which lets me choose which window manager I want to use. Here is a copy of my .xinitrc ---copy and pasted below--- #!/bin/sh xsetroot -solid black exec selectwm2 ---end copy and paste--- But my old xinit rc was as follows ---cut n paste--- #!/bin/sh bbrun & bblaunch -w 2 -h -v -d 1 xchat & sleep bubblemon -c -k & sleep 2 wmweather+ -location 49.15'00N 123.05'00W -avn-station yvravn -animate & sleep 2 wmtz & sleep 2 wminet & sleep 2 wmpinboard -w & sleep 2 wmappl & sleep 2 wmcalc & sleep 2 gkrellm -w & sleep 2 exec blackbox ---end cut n paste--- If you have an .xinitrc in your home directory when you type startx it will run the window manager specified in it. In the above example you can see I use blackbox. However the other example(first one) gives the app that launches my window manager selection tool. -- Susie VE7 HFA [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://arienadean.tripod.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself." - Harvey Fierstein -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
