The X server should be started as: X :0 (or just X) in your .xserverrc. Also be sure to have /usr/X386/bin in your path, and set the environment variable DISPLAY to :0 (setenv DISPLAY :0 in csh). You should also have a .xinitrc to start a few applications when X starts. Use the startx command to start X, it (or rather xinit) will execute your .xserverrc and .xinitrc. (This is assuming you don't use xdm. I've never used it, so I don't know how to set that up. You can put the startx command followed by a logout last in your .login file to start X when you log in.) -- Goran ------------------------------+--------------------------------- Goran Hammarback | goran@astro.uu.se Astronomiska Observatoriet | Uppsala Universitet | S-751 20 SWEDEN | ------------------------------+---------------------------------
