I have only one problem with my setup: When I exit X, the console returns to the text mode, but it does not appear to have a shell attached to it. I can enter characters, ^C, etc, but it simply echoes them to the screen and does nothing else. I use startx to begin X, have my console on in /etc/ttys and am not using xdm. The only way I can exit w/o a hard reset is to (from X) kill my login shell. It then logs me out and getty grabs the console again. Should I perhaps "exec" the last command in my .xinitrc file (mwm)? Thanks for your help! Mark -- This message was posted on my time, not company time. Opinions in this message are mine and not necessarily those of Intel. mwilley@pcocd2.intel.com
