(so point me in the right direction if I'm lost) Basically startx can be run from a remote terminal, which will spawn XFree86 on the local console (display 0). If XFree86 is already running, the remote terminal displays an (expected) XFree86 error about the display 0 already being active. After a CTRL+C a core dump is issued for the window-manager (only tested with Blackbox). uname -a FreeBSD XX.YY.ZZ 5.0-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE-p1 #0: Tue Feb 4 23:45:23 CET 2003 tigger@XX.YY.ZZ:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PIGLET i386 XFree86 is XFree86-4.2.0_1,1 from the ports. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Instant Messenger now available on Australian mobile phones. Go to http://ninemsn.com.au/mobilecentral To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
