(Installing Terry's beta patchkit really helps, you don't get those nasty freezes during make any more) All X-clients run happily, but xterm doesn't. I start X via xinit and a suitable .xinitrc file, and although xterm is started there, xterm is a no-show. As xterm (no flames please) is about the most important X-application, I am somewhat nonplussed. I even copied the xterm sources off the "Walnut Creek CD-ROM" X11R5 CD-ROM (which, at $39.95, is a *steal*), compiled them, and installed my own (slightly larger) xterm, but to no avail... Any suggestions are highly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gregor Glawitsch I "Everybody should believe in K390670@EDVZ.UNI-LINZ.AC.AT I something - I believe I should Institute of Microprocessor Applications I have another beer..."
