Hi there,

I am having some problems getting Xwindows running on my 3.60 with 1.1.

When i run 'startx' it starts up, but then dies part way thru with just
the message that X is going down, and i get a bunch of core files in my
directory.

if i log in from telnet connection, and run things manually, here is the
script output i get...

so you'll notice that twm, xterm, xconsole.. all of that came from the
distribution..  the tvtwm i compiled myself...


here is my xinitrc file

9:18pm (chimay)/duvel/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit# more xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
# $XConsortium: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.4 91/08/22 11:41:34 rws Exp $


# start some nice programs


xconsole -f /dev/kd -fg white -bg darkslategrey -geom 80+50 &
/usr/X11R6/bin/tvtwm &
#/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm &
xsetroot -solid slategrey
oclock -geometry 50x50-1-82 -bg CadetBlue &

exec xterm -fg white -bg black -geometry 80x55+0+0 -name login -sb






does anyone have any ideas on why everything keeps crashing on me??

i've tried with different kernels even, i also went back to 1.0A and
it still crashes...

thanx!
