- I have a real problem with xterm under linux+xfree86, both version
- 1.0Ya and 1.1. I have the latest libs. I am using X386mono with a
- standard VGA screen, resolution 640x480, virtual screen 800x600
-
- xterm starts, but never displays. It gives no debugging output (xterm
- >& /tmp/xterm.log stays empty). It doesn't appear to ever connect to
- the server, because when I exit X, my xterm processes hang around,
- doing nothing but take up memory.
-
- I have no network, and the server is being started with the -pn flag.
- My DISPLAY is properly set and exported to ":0".
- Other clients work (xclock for example). I have running xterm with no
- arguments, with -geometry set, with -e /bin/bash, with -e /bin/zsh,
- all to no avail. This happens both as a normal luuser and as root.
-
- I'm out of nifty ideas. Does anyone here have any? I'd appreciate
- any help!
