Re: Re[3] XWin.exe doesn't start

Hi Harold.

That is funny - although my machines both start, these are the log 
entries from my NT4 (SP6) and my Win98 machine. The NT one uses 
ShadowDD, the Win98 machine uses ShadowDDNL!

Both machines use the "standard" startx script. The only thing I changed 
is -fullscreen.

Logs follow.

Regards,

Uwe
