'exec twm' is implicit, and 'exec gnome' is not the way to start up the GNOME environment (exec gnome-session). Do you get any errors back at the console? X will usually tell you exactly what's causing it to die, though it doesn't always die gracefully. /Adam - -- Adam Weinberger adam@vectors.cx adamw@FreeBSD.ORG -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE90FlZo8KM2ULHQ/0RAo6kAJ4pUPVqULI2hmhNk/QJQRdJVBn5aACffBZ/ 6q3wuWROOcfJwrbl9y5ABxY= =99ph -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
