I used the old IP addresses per mikemac's advice and disabled route(8) commands and ran Start X Screen and lo and behold, a centered 1440x1080 Genera window pops up on this 1600x1200 screen. It's cool to see Zmacs and all the other Activities run at a different resolution. The final thing to do, to play it safe, is to get Start X Screen to run when the machine boots. Do any of you know of a way to run Lisp code when the machine boots so that powering the console and keyboarding in a Login to run your lispm-init isn't necessary? I can have net:enable-remote-login always T and some code that prevents going into the cold load stream during an x-error loaded by doing an Incremental World, but I can't figure out a way to automatically evaluate a form or try to start the X screen without first logging in. Intuitively, I think there _has_ to be a way to do this... every other OS out there gives you /etc/init.d/ or autoexec.bat or whatever. If there isn't a way to do this, it's not the end of the world I guess, since the keyboard has been behaving itself lately, but it would at the very least save the aging monitor extra wear by allowing me to flip the switch on the XL when things crash or drop to the FEP and have the window pop back up a minute later.
