- Hmm. This is odd. Forget about NoTrapSignals - you don't want it on,
- unless you are debugging the server - with it set, if the server aborts
- abnormally, you may not get your screen back. That's in there for us
- to debug with, and for people to get us coredumps if necessary.

-
- Hmm. Not really. I know that AT&T SVR4 uses a different TCP/IP package
- than the other SVR4 packages. Maybe somthing odd is happening with
- unix-domain sockets. Try adding
-
- xhost +
- DISPLAY=localhost:0
-
- to the top of your .xinitrc, which should force TCP/IP for all connections.
-
- I will ask on our beta list to see if anyone else is having this problem.
- Anyone our here in the real world having this problem, or using AT&T
- 2.1 without problems?
