I inadvertantly deleted a my X11R6 stuff, I was tired and I didn't know what
I was doing. In any case I reinstalled it and everything but I have a problem
if I try to replace twm with olwm in the xinitrc file. All I get is an X screen
with no console or anything, so it locks up and Iquit out of it. When
I run twm the title bar and menu come up black. By the way, I'm running the
Spectrum server in 1024x768x8. But I can't seem to get all 256 colors, and if
I edit the initrc file I get nothing. Peculiar thing is that if I type
olwm from a non X screen I should get and error about not opening a display, but
I get can't connect to null screen. But why does twm not come up if I change
the initrc file
For example,
I changed the line,
exec twm
to:
exec olwm
I then got a blank X screen with no windows, so I had to reboot.
I replaced
exec olwm
with:
exec twm
and it would stop working. I'm realy confused. Any help is apprecieated
