- I recently converted to XFree86 from my home-cooked X11r5. When I run
- my old stuff, I can shut the server down in the usual ways (ie, my
- last client in ~/.xinitrc ends, xinit kills the server).
-
- When I run the server from XFree86, I can't get rid of the server
- except with the CTL-ALT-BS sequence. When that last client dies, the
- server looks like it's shutting down, but a couple of seconds later it
- seems to reinitialize itself and give me the gray background and
- default mouse cursor. No clients appear. I've waited 5-10 minutes to
- see if something just had to time out, but no change. It dies quickly
- when I punch CTL-ALT-BS. (I tried NoTrapSignals, but didn't notice
- any change.)
-
- I'm on a 386 running AT&T UNIX SVR4.0.2.1a with an ET4000 video card.
- My XFree86 stuff was picked up recently from bradley.edu.
-
- Any clues?
