I have built X11R4 using gcc 1.35 and have some problems. Any ideas? The susp character is ctrl/c instead of ctrl/z. I am using tcsh. The funny thing about this is that I also built a server using GreenHills C and the susp character is ctrl/z as it should be. Something is wrong with the GNU C version. I have a menu item to exit from X Windows. It does xlwins to find the id of the console window and then xkill -id to kill it. This worked fine under X11R3 but it hangs with X11R4. I execute X windows using the command exec X -screen0 -depth 8. That worked fine with X11R3 but with X11R4 I cannot log back in after exiting from X. I get the message login incorrect after typing in any login name. I don't get as far as being asked for the password. Note: If you build X11R4 with GreenHills C the code generated for server/ddx/mfb/mfbcmap.c is wrong. Thanks to Steve Green for pointing this out to me. It saved me much grief.

Also built X11R4 with gcc and am using tcsh... no such problem here. I got
the tcsh binary from anise.acc.com. I have built gcc myself but it seems
to have some bugs.

Assuming the initial window is called "console", this works for me.
xkill -id `xlswins | grep console | tr -s " " | cut -f2 -d" "`

Are you running xdm? or do you have init start the server? How is it that
exiting from X logs you off?
Also, make sure your X11R4 script calls Xrepair when it is done.

BTW: That Greenhills compiler is version 1.8.2h
