- After loading up all the X11 code, patches and special kernel, I ran into
- the same problems as other people. I finally got X, and xterm to come up by
- using a combination of the various hints. Philippe Brand's little script
- seemed to work best. Though I did have to make the following changes.
-
- 1. Not start twm. The one time it started, the xterm came up in shadow
- mode waiting for me to place it. Then it all locked up. To even
- get it that far, I had to send a character to its stdin.
-
- 2. Use the "-d" option on xterm for the display to use.
-
- 3. At the beginning of the script I added code to build the X & X0 files.
-
- However, once the xterm poped up, the key mapping was badly messed up.
- The letters and numbers seemed to be OK, but all the special characters
- including space were stangely interchanged. Space produced '"', '-' gave '.',
- but '~' and '`' were OK. So it was not possible to use a multi-word
- commands. Also, no characters appeared until I hit "return".
-
- I did notice that Xbsd is dumping debugging information, which did help
- getting things going. By looking at this output, I did see that the
- correct characters were being echoed for what I was typing. So it looks
- like Xbsd gets them correctly, but then xterm is passing something else
- to bash.
-
- Anybody else seen this strange behavior? Any suggestions?
