This is probably a question for the XFree86 folks, but I want to make sure they're not gonna say it's the OS first. I'm running 4.0Release and I'm trying to get it to boot up, become a certain user and launch XWindows and Netscape. If Netscape dies it'll reload. I have the netscape thing working fine. The rest is being done in rc.local and the user's .xinitrc. At the very end of rc.local I have: nohup su - luser & Luser's shell is tcsh and at the end of .cshrc I call startx and at the end of luser's .xinitrc I call a script that's just an endless while(1) that keeps netscape going without session management. If I just log in as luser everything starts fine. When I do it from bootup it loads in fine but the mouse is dead. Looking at nohup.out tells me: Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again. Well /tmp/.X0-lock wasn't there before I rebooted so something's trying to happen twice. Is rc.local not the place to do this? Is this something that should go to the XFree86 folks? Does anyone have any ideas?
