I've got 2.2.7-RELEASE set up on my box at home running X.. it seems to be running ok when I load it up, but I'm having some trouble getting X to start from alt-f4 (ttyv3). I'm using afterstep as my window manager and I have the following in /etc/ttys.. # Virtual terminals ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv3 "/usr/X11R6/bin/afterstep" xterm on secure I've also tried it with xdm -nodaemon instead of afterstep, but neither work. My syslog spits out this message ever minute or two.. login: Sep 16 init:getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv3, sleeping 30 secs I'm guessing that may be root of the problem. How do I fix that? As for afterstep, the only way I can get into it is by su'ing, starting xdm, logging in, and at the prompt typing afterstep to start it. Once I do that it starts fine.. I'm sending this message from it now, but there's gotta be a way to set it to be my default window manager... I'm obviously missing someing here... Any help/ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
