Hi all,
I installed Mandrake 7.1. When I typed startx, I would get a blue screen
with the mouse and then the X windows would close with the message "Waiting
for X to shut down". Someone told me it is a problem with KDE and I should
instead use xinit to start. So, I tried that with icewm-gnome, twm, and
other window managers. it works! I get the X-windows, including a clock
at the bottom right corner, and all the menus in each of the window managers.
Netscape starts, so do xpdf, xv and rxvt. But NONE of the other applications
start. Nothing happens or else I get a skeleton box that dies. Sometimes
there is a core dump, sometimes there isn't. What could be the problem?
Help!
Once this gets solved, I need to fingure out how to connect my modem.
But that will be another story I guess :-).
Thanks in advance.
