So, I'm using wscons (good idea? bad idea?) on my laptop, and X starts fine,
but dies painfully. I discovered that if I use 'startx', I get a 'sh.core',
and it looks like wait4() is generating a SIGQUIT while waiting for xinit
to terminate.
Skimming a ktrace, it looks like xterm writes a prompt fine. Then it
waits for input. XF86 starts trying to read from fd 6 and fd 8. fd 6 was
opened from /dev/ttyE0; fd 8 was /dev/pms0. fd6 constantly yields "resource
temporarily unavailable". When I hit return, this apparently stops - but XF86
just starts killing everything in sight.
Any ideas? Should I not have configured for wscons? Should I have configured
wscons differently?
