- Since a couple of people asked, I thought I'd post again.
-
- To diagnose problems related to blank screens and nothing
- starting up under X386, try
-
- startx 2> /mnt/spam
-
- since X386 prints its stuff to stderr.
-
-
- Other good ideas include commenting out the Clocks line
- in your Xconfig file and then trying the above.
-
- Also, make sure the last line of your .xinitrc is
-
- exec twm
-
- ...or whatever window manager else you've got, but twm
- is in with the X1.1 dist.
