What's its relation betw'n ymessenger and startx?
ymessenger adds itself to .xinitrc when you install it. different people have had different behaviour. some places it installs it into ~*/.xinitrc, where * is every user in /etc/passwd, including those with uid<100 others have had it put in the the .xinitrc of the user installing, others have had it put in other places. I don't know why, but in some cases, that causes X to not start. I had that problem, and removing xinitrc fixed it. -- PURGE COMPLETE. _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
