Cheers, david (who quit using xinit about a year ago) You are missing the point. This is the way I choose to run X for the moment.. I have a quite nice multi-wm .xsession already in place that I like and works well. Yes, it would take only a moment to enable xdm... The point is that I'm using startx for now. jim -- ET has one helluva sense of humor! He's always anal-probing right-wing schizos! _ Do You Yahoo!?

exec issue in tcsh?
i noticed this after a build from -current of about 24 hours ago: due to problems getting kde-2.2 to compile under -current, I am currently using windowmaker and doing a `exec startx /dev/null` to get into X without leaving a console shell open... the problem i have is that when i switched back to vty0 to test to see if removing VESA support solved the panic issue with syscons, i noticed that i still didn't have a login prompt over there, and pressing enter just gives a new line... i haven't tried a control-c, but i'd lay odds that it would kill the X session. i don't know if this is a tcsh issue or a getty issue i'll save my current session and do a conrol-c just to find out and post a followup message to this in a few minutes. jim -- ET has one helluva sense of humor!

exec issue with tcsh?
Please DISREGARD my previous message on this topic... I have issued myself a severe boot to the head in the true tradition of tai-kwan-leap as a result of sending that, so if you must, please remember that I booted myself in the head first, and was enlightened by the experience. jim -- ET has one helluva sense of humor!
