Greetings.
I am trying to connect to a Gentoo X Server and it is connecting, but I
don't seem to be able to open an xterm. All I get is a full screen without
anything. I am running this command:
XWin -query d-tuxedo
where d-tuxedo is the X Server. It works well with xinit. Here is the
.xinitrc:
jicman 23:51:28-> cat .xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
# $Xorg: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:30 cpqbld Exp $
userresources="$HOME"/.Xresources
usermodmap="$HOME"/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
# merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f "$sysresources" ]; then
xrdb -merge "$sysresources"
fi
if [ -f "$sysmodmap" ]; then
xmodmap "$sysmodmap"
fi
if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
xrdb -merge "$userresources"
fi
if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi
# start some nice programs
xhost + localhost
cd
xterm -display $DISPLAY -name "xterm-1" -sb \
-sl 1000 -geometry +0+0 &
xterm -display $DISPLAY -name "xterm-2" -sb \
-sl 1000 -geometry +270+190 &
#fvwm2
wmaker
So, what is it that I am doing wrong? I tried searching on different places
and google it, but I could not find any thing.
Any help would be greated appreciated.
thanks,
josé
