I wonder if I'm framing things right? When I said to post it again, I didn't mean to me, I meant to the entire group. I could most likely fix this for you my having you check a lot of stuff for me, but somewhere amongst the large group of listeners to -questions, there is most likely someone who has had the exact same problem, and can tell you exactly what you did wrong, and get you on the road again. Tell you what, to save you some time here, why don't you report this to questions, and I'll see it, but so will everyone else. As a first hint from me, why don't you do a 'which xinit', then do an ls -l on whatever file 'which' reports, and include both of those in your post? It'd be the first thing I'd ask you to do, so you won't lose any time that way. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
