I have to reboot. Remember that the Xserver usually wants to use an empty VT (with no getty or shell already running). It might also work, but is probably less happy ;) on your login VT. Try forcing it to a particular VT with X -query some.server :4 vt02 (e.g., if you are currently logged int /dev/ttyv1 -- this is what X11 calls `vt02' following the SysV naming tradition). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
