I built and installed X11R5 with Amancios and Paces patches. The
building was no major problem. But what next ? I tried running xinit
which initially timed out and reported something about sockets or
TCP/IP. So I assumed that it required some of the networking stuff so
I started up routed, portmap and inetd. After this xinit reported its
version and seemed to hang. Is there any other initialisation required ?
I have installed /dev/vga c 12 0 anything else ??? How do you start up
clients once xinit has run or is using xinit some sort of a startup
script ? Please help !
