Ah, you're trying to use CDE with XFree86. I don't have a Solaris box available right now, and I never bothered to work out how dtlogin is configured when I did. You'll need to find out how dtlogin is configured to decide what X server to start, and point that to the XFree86 server instead of the Sun X server. IIRC, the Sun X executables were in /usr/bin/X11, and the XFree86 equivalent would be /usr/X11R6/bin. You'll have to grovel through /etc/rc.d to find how dtlogin is started, and that should lead you to where it finds out what X server to start, and then you can just change that from something like /usr/bin/X11/Xsun to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86. With that and the man pages you should be able to figure it out eventually. Bear in mind that I'm working from vague memories, by guess and by gosh here, so don't expect the details to be correct. At least all this is still controlled by plain text files, shell scripts and X resources -- At least it was still in Solaris 7. They haven't changed that, have they? -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
