Hi.
I have a virtual server running freebsd, and I have installed X11 + Xvfb + ImageMagick on it. I have managed to start the X server and take a screenshot of it, with the following incantations:
Code:
startx -- /usr/local/bin/Xvfb :99 -ac -screen 0 1280x1024x24 &
DISPLAY=:99 import -window root screenshot.png
Which gives me a nice looking screenshot. The contents of my ~/.xinitrc is as follows:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# $Xorg: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:30 cpqbld Exp $
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/local/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/local/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
# merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi
if [ -f $userresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usermodmap
fi
twm &
exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login
Now, this works fine and all, but if I try to start a program up in the X session before calling import, it just hangs. Eg. If I call:
Code:
DISPLAY=:99 xclock -geometry 500x500 &
DISPLAY=:99 import -window root screenshot.png
.. then import never returns.
What could be the problem?
