Re: startx hangs on WinXP, xinit doesn't
Mr. Dickey and Mr. Barr, I stand corrected.
pv, I apologize for misleading you, and I hope that you do find the
solution to your problem.
My programming experience is with C-like languages, such as PHP, and I
had mistakenly believed that bash tests worked with similar syntax. My
understanding of bash isn't as great as it should be, it seems.
I can't stand the thought of being wrong. Ironically, the only way to
fix that is first to be proven wrong, then to learn from the proof.
