I will mostly run services and ssh console sessions, so that might be enough. However I also wanted to run some lightweight X11 setup so I installed 'fvwm2' and have a 'mostly working' XF86Config. When [ordinary-user] I execute 'startx' the system gradually fills all of RAM and swap then locks up the X-server. Granted my space is small, but this still looks wrong to me. My '~/.xinitrc' is a one-liner: "exec fvwm2". Any ideas what's happening? TIA. John Mills john.m.mills@alum.mit.edu
