I just compiled X11R4 on a SPARC 2 without any problems/errors. I used gcc as the compiler and ran fixincludes before I built the libraries.. When I use xinit to start the X server without any .xinitrc or .xsession file in my home directory it works fine (creates one xterm etc..) It also works fine when I have the following .xinitrc file in my home directory: ------- .xinitrc file ------ xterm -g +1+1 & xterm -g -1+1 & xclock -g +1-1 & xterm -g -1-1 ---------------------------- However if I try to run twm as a background or a foreground process using the following .xinitrc files, xinit comes up with the error message : " Fatal I/0 Error 32 ......" and the X server is killed. ------- .xinitrc file ------ (OR) ------- .xinitrc file ------ twm & xterm -g +1+1 & xterm -g +1+1 & xterm -g -1+1 & xterm -g -1+1 & xclock -g +1-1 & xclock -g +1-1 & xterm -g -1-1 & xterm -g -1-1 twm ---------------------------- ---------------------------- I would highly appreciate if some one could tell me what is the problem and how I can solve this. Please e_mail your responses to kamath@unix1.cs.umass.edu . Thanks in advance.
