- Umm...not so, at least for me. I have been fighting with that
- version for a while (yes, I did have my .xinitrc and Xconfig
- set properly), but I finally had to recompile it to get it to
- work. Running the binary from banjo/tsx-11 would give me a
- segmentation fault and a core dump. (I'm running Linux v0.96c.)
-
- Anyone have any idea what would cause it to not work?
