I have just compiled and installed XFree86 Version 4.3.99.8 on my Dell Inspiron 2600 and when I run startx I get :-
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ startx Using authority file /home/alf/.Xauthority Writing authority file /home/alf/.Xauthority Until I hit Ctrl-C, XFree86 gets no further. However if I hit Ctrl-C, XFree86 runs fine. What is going on ? What is .Xauthority and why do I need it ? Is it possible that this has anything to do with inetv6 as I have also seen the following at the beginning of the /var/log/XFree86.0.log. _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to determine socket type for inetv6 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inetv6/puppypad:0 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inetv6 This btw is running on Linux Slackware 9.0 kernel 2.4.20. BTW2 I installed this to fix the Alt-Ctrl-Fn crash I was getting and it seems to have achieved that. --- Regards, Alf Stockton www.stockton.co.za Certified Linux+ Professional & C Programmer Garbage In -- Gospel Out. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
