Re: Basic question 1 - Traffic

I don't know what your startup command is/are but mine are

	/usr/X11R6/bin/run /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin -nolisten local
-multiwindow
	# to start XWin in "quiet" mode
	/bin/xterm -display localhost:0.0
	# to start xterm, but you might want something else

and I seem to have a quiettime (cf. yours, noisy).

Hi Fergus,


thanks for your reply.

It's been a few years since I used Unix when I worked at University and my Unix knowledge has never been brilliant and has become even rustier since then, so please forgive me if this is irrelevant, but I start my X environment with the following command:

startx -- -screen 0 1200 900

Again, I'm not sure whether this is relevant, but my .xinitrc file (not set up by me, I hasten to add) contains the following lines:

exec >$HOME/.x11startlog 2>$HOME/.x11startlog
xsetroot -bitmap .esru.x
xterm -name Console -fn 6x13 -C -g 85X8+0+0 &
xterm -name Xterm1 -fn 6x13 -g 85X35+0-0 -sb -sl 400 &
xterm -name Xterm2 -fn 6x13 -g 80X24+350-50 -sb -sl 400 &
# xclock -g 75X75-60+0 &
xstdcmap -delete all
exec twm

Does the quite mode you mentioned fit in here somewhere?

Thanks

Herbert Eppel
