I was having the same problem. As soon as I added the recommended line to /etc/fdtab, I was up and running with an X-Console! Thanks ... My question is this. I have written this bitchen .xinitrc file. So, after I do a command line login, I can then type "xinit", and get into the X-Server and it will process my ~/.xinitrc just fine. Then someon told me that I could star X automaticly at boot. This is working fine, but when I login, it doesn't process my ~/.xinitrc. Do I need to rename this file to something else, or is there something that I'm missing about the way X works? Also, I'm using FVWM v2.2, with a 2x2 virtual desktop. How can I tell my programs (ie. xterm, netscape etc.) what desktop to come up on? I've tried the conventional "/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -xrm "*Page:2"", and also "*Desk:2"; but neither seem to work. Any suggestions? Thanks for the quick lesson in X :) -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
