Hi all,
What follows is my plea for help regarding getting X11 to work properly
on my iBook. Sorry its such a long message
For all the long story, you don't really explain what you are doing when
you get the unexpected behavior, and what you are actually observing.
Details please!
Some of the questions you should answer:
- How do you start X11?
- Do you have a ~/.xinitrc file and what does it contain?
- How do you start the xterm in which you observe the problem: From the
~/.xinitrc file, from the X11 Applications menu, from the command line
in a Terminal.app window, is it the default xterm window that you get
without ~/.xinitrc script? If you try one of the other methods, do you
get the same result?
- What is your shell?
- What do you have in your shell startup scripts?
- Do you have any other self-made startup scripts, like
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist?
- Do you see a shell prompt in your xterm where you type your commands?
- What exactly do you see there?
I think it is far more probable that you have some bad configuration or
some bad custom startup script than that there is a problem with the
installation of OSX or of X11.
