Greeting *,
I have tried to run xlock and vtwm but failed. The followings are
the problems I have.
o xlock: Since libm.a doesn't support rint(), I disable it. No problem.
But I get invalid login when I attemp to re-log in after the
screen is locked. How can I get around with this? It seems
to me that this topic has been discussed before. But, please
no flame.
o vtwm: Except parse.c needs a modification, everything is compiled ok.
However, when I run it (vtwm & in login xterm), system responds
"Suspended: tty input" and nothing happens. Until I fg it
and type ^D, the title of the login xterm shows up. But I
still cannot use mouse to pop up menu although .vtwmrc or
.twmrc do exist.
Any one? Thanks!
