It was in the first message, just bbkeys and blackbox in there. .xsession may be worth seeing. Also, it's bb 0.65 so it can't be fontconfig at fault (FC support was added in 0.70, right?). Try replacing everything in ~/.xinitrc with just an xterm. Let's see if it's X or Blackbox at fault here. Also, once X started with just the xterm, use the xterm to launch blackbox (simply call it). Compare times. Perhaps it's a strange style or background image at fault. Try hiding all the styles from Blackbox or try some with fewer colors and no background image, just a pattern, see if it changes anything. Try grabbing a precompiled binary from somewhere else or compile one yourself. If you compiled it, what did you use for ./configure? If all else fails, perhaps a strace can be useful. I think it's pretty easy to redirect strace output to a file, but I don't know if it will work from .xinitrc. -- Ciprian Popovici -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
