Just trying to get into the BSD swing of things with the new OpenBSD 3.0 - I haven't changed too much, just ran the xf86config, things seemed to be working fine with the default window manager FVWM, but FVWM is FVWM.
X seemed to work fine before changing to blackbox, I ran the xf86config (text mode, my mouse doesn't pick up in xf86cfg) set up everything fine - then I installed BlackBox (crappy hardware) and put that in place of 'fvwm &' in the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc - if I run 'startx' now, everything shows up, then quits - if I run just 'X' xwindows starts up, but of course I have no window manager and can't do anything but stare at the cursor - removing 'blackbox &' and replacing it with the fvwm & hasn't fixed anything Here is the error and my xinitrc... # cat xinitrc #!/bin/sh # $Xorg: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:30 cpqbld Exp $ # $OpenBSD: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.6 2001/06/04 12:42:30 matthieu Exp $ userresources=$HOME/.Xresources usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap # merge in defaults and keymaps if [ -f $sysresources ]; then xrdb -merge $sysresources fi if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then xmodmap $sysmodmap fi if [ -f $userresources ]; then xrdb -merge $userresources fi if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then xmodmap $usermodmap fi # if we have private ssh key(s), start ssh-agent and add the key(s) id1=$HOME/.ssh/identity id2=$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa id3=$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa if [ -e /usr/bin/ssh-agent ] && [ -f $id1 -o -f $id2 -o -f $id3 ]; then eval `ssh-agent -s` ssh-add $id1 $id2 $id3 < /dev/null fi # start some nice programs xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 & xconsole & xterm -geometry 80x24 & fvwm & if [ "$SSH_AGENT_PID" ]; then ssh-add -D < /dev/null eval `ssh-agent -s -k` fi ***** error ****** (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse1" (type: MOUSE) (**) Option "BaudRate" "1200" (WW) fcntl(8, F_SETOWN): Inappropriate ioctl for device Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list!

PS - thanks for your help, I'm trying to be as concise as possible ;-) _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
