- Is there a special trick to debug an X server binary using gdb or dbx? That
- is, how can you start it up and have the debugger be able to follow the
- progress from the beginning, given that the server is normally started via
- xinit? I know that I can start it normally and then attach to the process,
- but how would I debug it from the very beginning?
-
- Thanks for tips.
