Ok.. this problem seems kinda strange to me, maybe one of you guys can explain it.
I'm running (well -- trying) Accelerated X laptop edition. Those of you who know about X, please don't stop reading there -- I don't think the problem is AccelX specific. When I try to run startx, X begins to start, the server starts loading and I see the startup screen, and then it dies as if it'd been shut down. No error messages are created (see bottom of mail for log). I narrowed the problem down to what seems to be xinit -- when I do xinit (which startx does) on its own, the same thing happens. The strange part comes in in that when I run the server on its own (X :0) and then do DISPLAY="localhost:0.0";afterstep& it works (albeit not completely). Looking at xinit's man page, it appears to me that xinit is essentially doing the same thing I can do manually. This problem starts when I upgraded to hamm. I upgraded all of the X packages and then reinstalled AccelX just to make sure -- still the same problem. Computer specifics: This is a Dell LM166mmx with a Neomagic 128xv+ card. 2.0.33 kernel on hamm. Idiots at XIG won't give me support until hamm is an official release.
