  13. Hi,
  14. I just upgraded to 0.96c-pl2 + GCC 2.2.2 + X11 V1.1.
  15. Much improved installation - kudos to all involved!
  16.  
  17. One problem... I can start the X server OK, and get an xterm, and the
  18. mouse works.  I can't get twm to start, though.  If I run it from the
  19. xterm, nothing happens (I can kill it with ^C).  If I reset the DISPLAY
  20. var to something silly, it complains, so I know it's trying to run.
  21. I've checked (I think) for silly mistakes like file permissions.
  22. Everything worked fine under 0.96a / GCC 2.11c / X11 V1.0
  23.  
  24. Any Ideas?  Thanks for any help you can give.
  25.
