When I tried to bring up X, using : xinit, I got the following message: : : XIO: fatal IO error 32 (broken pipe) on X server ":0.0" : after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining : The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient : : What did I miss to do? Thanks in advance. I just went through this, so I can offer a suggestion. The real error goes out standard error, so try it again with: xinit 2>error_log The error_log file should have a more helpful error message. -- Carl Johnson carlj@cv.hp.com
