I have a FreeBSD-2.2.2/XFree-3.2 system. I'm trying to get X started using xauthority so that I can get exmh_bg process to work (which uses tcl/tk 'send' requiring xauthority). if I run xdm, the X server [XF86_Mach64] gets started with authentication enabled and an entry is created in the $HOME/.Xauthority. when I run my normal X startup script (which does 'xinit -- -auth $HOME/.Xauthority') then xauthority is not enabled. I'm using the same .Xauthority file that was generated by xdm, and my startup script works fine on FreeBSD-2.1.0/XFree-3.2 and FreeBSD-2.1.0/XFree-3.3.1 systems I have. my Xauthority has entries for 'hostname:0' and 'hostname/unix:0'. is there a new transport added that I need to specify? thanks for any suggestions! danny (mitzel@ipsilon.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
