I just install XF86-4 and am having a couple of problems. I installed XF86-4 from the ports and have also installed the x11/wrapper and specified XF86-4 in the /etc/make.conf file. I could startx into twm just fine, but now can't open a window manager from user directory. I created an .xinitrc file with the commands 'exec xscreensaver & 'exec fvwm' in my /home/directory When I execute startx, xscreensaver splash screen comes up, but the window manager doesn't, all that happens is I get a gray screen in the background. I can move the mouse around, but there is nothing else there. For a split second before X starts, the following flashes across the page: xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "lymond.lvcablemodem.com:0" in "remove" command I've added my hostname lymond.lvcablemodem.com to my /etc/hosts.allow file. I remember something like this with Debian, and it had something to do with the xinit file in /usr/X11, but I don't remember what. Can someone point me in the right direction? thanks in advance dale To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
