[Sunhelp] Re: X PROBLEMS SECOND PART

Have you tried running"/usr/openwin/bin/xinit"?

It reads the initial configuration for X from the file
~/.xinitrc, try a man xinit for specs on the file.

xinit can also take command line arguments to specify
different display devices.  For example, to use the
rasterflex on my ultra-1, I use:

xinit -- /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun -dev /dev/rfx0 defdepth 24

The first argument after the -- is the X-server to use, in
this case the default one.  The second argument , -dev ***
instructs xinit to start the x-display on a specified device
(I'm not sure what the default is).  the defdepth argument
tries to use a 24-bit color setting.

Hope this helps!
