I am trying to connect to a Gentoo X Server and it is connecting, but I don't seem to be able to open an xterm. All I get is a full screen without anything. I am running this command: XWin -query d-tuxedo where d-tuxedo is the X Server. It works well with xinit. Here is the .xinitrc: jicman 23:51:28- cat .xinitrc #!/bin/sh # $Xorg: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:30 cpqbld Exp $ userresources=$HOME/.Xresources usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap # merge in defaults and keymaps if [ -f $sysresources ]; then xrdb -merge $sysresources fi if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then xmodmap $sysmodmap fi if [ -f $userresources ]; then xrdb -merge $userresources fi if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then xmodmap $usermodmap fi # start some nice programs xhost + localhost cd xterm -display $DISPLAY -name xterm-1 -sb \ -sl 1000 -geometry +0+0 xterm -display $DISPLAY -name xterm-2 -sb \ -sl 1000 -geometry +270+190 #fvwm2 wmaker So, what is it that I am doing wrong? I tried searching on different places and google it, but I could not find any thing.
