This is only one of the reasons (only one of them) why hal in X is as useless as it can get: if you use any driver that's not provided by the Xorg guys then you still need an xorg.conf.

I've just fixed something on my system which may be similar. I was seeing network error messages during emerges, which were preventing logmail being sent. Turns out that this was because the system couldn't figure out its DNS hostname (unsurprising, as it doesn't have one). A quick tweak to /etc/hosts to provide a fully qualified name was all that was needed. -- Peter Haworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] An ASCII character walks into a bar and orders a double.

I'm quite surprised because I start xterm as ``xterm -ls'', which should provide a login shell but I had to logoff completely (terminating X and logout). A login shell is not a new login; it just means that as well as reading .bashrc (or the equivalent for your shell), it also reads .bash_profile, .bash_login and .profile when starting up, and reads .bash_logout on exit. To add groups to the currently running process requires root privileges, even if the user is configured as a member of the new group. The usual methods to achieve this are logging out and back in again, or using newgrp (though this starts a new shell, and only affects processes started from that shell). -- Peter Haworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors.
