xinit command
I have a couple applications that I need to run in a seperate X session.
To test out the xinit command, I run xinit xterm -- :1 A new X session opens up on vt08 and I can switch in and out of it, but xterm does not load up, neither does any program I try. All I get is a big X cursor and a black screen. I can move hte cursor. What am I doing wrong? I did not modify xf86conig for any screen or layout, settings, as I dont know what the hell im doing inthere. PLease help me. |
If you terminate the session you'll probably find something like:

To me that indicates that either xterm or, more likely, xinit in this version is stuffed as it appears to hand xterm as a parameter to itself. If you just want X with a xterm without any wm-decorations you can create a file ~/.xserverrc X :1 and then run xinit -- :1 which will give you exactly that. Cheers, Tink |
I get this as output
