How do,

With my 2.1 system I've got the XFree86 3.1.2 installed. My graphics
card is a Diamond Stealth 64 (1 Mbyte) on the PCI bus. Apparently it
uses the S3 Trio 64 chipset.

After configuring X, I then do 'startx'.

It all starts up quite nicely. The desktop appears, twm fires up and
xclock starts running. 

I then get dumped back at my command prompt. The complete error log
looks like this:

waiting for X server to shut down X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

If I change my xinitrc to not run any xterms (say, by deleting them, and
having xclock as the last running program) then things work without a
hitch. However, I cannot start any xterms at all.

As you can imagine, this is a bit of a problem. Anyone bumped into this?
I'm posting this to FreeBSD first because I've not had any problems with
X before, and this is my first outing with 2.1 (previously I've used
2.0R and 2.0.5 with X3.1 with no problems), although I'm fully prepared
to believe this is a problem with X.

Cheers, N
