Over the last weekend, I finally installed the XFree86 binaries.
My system is:
XFree86 Version 3.1.1 / X Window System
Operating System: Linux version 1.2.0 (gcc version 2.6.2)
Mach32: Monitor ID: "Nanao F550i": card type: localbus (486)
When I executed startx with the following in .xinitrc:
#!/bin/sh
xterm -fn 7x13bold -geometry 80x32+10+50 -ls &
xterm -fn 9x15bold -geometry 80x34+30-10 -ls &
oclock -geometry 70x70-7+7 &
xsetroot -solid midnightblue &
exec twm
two xterm windows and a clock are displayed. The following message:
_setutent: Can't open utmp file: No such file or directory
is repeated three times at the top of each window? The last line is
a standard prompt and things seems to be working as they should.
There is a /etc/utmp file. What is the problem and how do I fix it?
When I exit the windows, the following addition messages are displayed:
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
xinit: connection to X server lost.
waiting for X server to shut down xterm: fatal IO error 2 (Broken pipe) or
KillClient on X server ":0.0"
xterm: fatal IO error 2 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":0.0"
_setutent: Can't open utmp file: No such file or directory
(repeated 8 times)
Should I be concerned? What must I do to correct these problems?
Regards,
Albert
