How to setup your account to use X11R4 on Sprite. Step 0) - (Only needed until /dev/fb is implemented.) If your machine is not a standard monochrome display be sure that there is an entry for it in /X11/R4/lib/fbtypes. Step 1) - Add /X11/R4/cmds to your path. If you path contains X11R3 or X11R2 binaries be sure that /X11/R4/cmds is before these. Step 2) - There seems to be about ten different ways of starting X. Here's the one I use: Type "xinit". If you would like something more than a single "tx" window at start up, create a script named ".xinitrc". Xinit will run this script and when the script exits so will the X server. A sample .xinitrc file can be found in ~newuser/.xinitrc This .xinitrc runs the script $HOME/.xsetup. A sample .xsetup file can be found in ~newuser/.xsetup. Notes: 1) If you have a file named ".xserverrc" in your home directory it will most likely break something. Please delete it. Users with accounts that start with dedood, drewes, elm, hunt, johnw, krste, leong, sah, schauser, ss, tve, or wlo should follow this note. 2) The X11 R4 twm is not totally backward compatible with the new twm. The problem that bites most people is lines in the .twmrc like: Button1 = mc : window : f.resize are no longer legal. The correct form is: Button1 = m | c : window : f.resize
