Thanks Thomas, The thing is, no matter what I put in those files, it either starts XWin with a border, or not at all.
And when I do get it to start up, there is always a console mode window hanging around until I close it, and that closes XWin... *sigh* I AM trying to understand how all this stuff fits together, but I'm not having very much luck. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Thomas Chadwick Sent: Sunday, November 17, 2002 10:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: XWin.exe <--> xinit link RTFM!
