It is my understanding that you can run a virtual terminal and X at the same time under ISC. But after I have my X windows up, if I flip to another virtual terminal and flip back to my x terminal, i get "xterm broken pipe" "connection to x server lost." I went through all the mannual pages and docs trying to figure out where it said you could not do that... but I didnt find any.. any ideas? thanks - bruce ---- deadhead@cup.portal.com || bruce@ear.stanford.edu

I had the same trouble. Try using xdm to start your X-session instead of xinit. The X server will come up with a login screen on the first unused virtual terminal. If you want X to come up automatically when you boot (or log off X), put the line lcl:23:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/xdm -nodaemon as the last line of /etc/inittab. Woe betide you if you leave out the -nodaemon switch. David Rector drector@orion.oac.uci.edu Dept. of Math. U.C. Irvine, Irvine CA 92717 -- David L. Rector drector@orion.oac.uci.edu Dept. of Math. U.
