Re: [XFree86] Startx Mystery
Hello Satej! I'm running Gentoo on all four machines, no linuxconfig. What do I have to do to restore the default settings. Is there an editable file? From what I can gather reading the man pages for startx I'm told that the startx script is a front end for xinit but where do I find the startx script? I can always compare it to the script on the other macxhine and correct the entries. Does this problem not have to do with the script's not handling an environmental variable properly? That conclusion would certainly seem supportable from the manual. Something's happened to change the treatment of these variables? That would be my guess but what do I know.

[XFree86] Startx Mystery
I run three workstations and a web server here, all using XFree86 and the same distro. Until yesterday, all of the machine displayed the same messages when starting X or exiting my window manager.

Unable to exit in any other way I reset the machine.
