I recently downloaded Xnext from the Columbia site and installed the binaries on a 400 MB Nextstation running NS 2.0. When I double click on the X icon, the screen goes blank, the disk whirs for a while, and then I return to NS. The 'ps' command shows that no X related processes are running. My guess is that my .xinitrc file or path are not correct. I have tried trivial .xinitrc files of a single line (e.g., xclock &) and I set my path as follows: set path=(. $home/bin \ /usr/local/bin /usr/ucb \ /usr/local/X11R4/usr/bin/X11 \ /bin /usr/bin ~/Apps /LocalApps \ /NextApps /NextAdmin /NextDeveloper/Demos) Can someone tell me SPECIFICALLY how they got Xnext working? Can they send me working .xinitrc and .cshrc files? Thanks. Henry P.S.: the ftp site should have much more detailed README files. No mention about how to switch context, no details of installation.
