Re: How to open a standalone xterm
And now, sporadically, when I run startxwin.sh, sometimes it works, ie
opens up the xterm, but sometimes some windows open, with text that I
can't read quickly enough, then go away. If I close Xwin and try
again, sometimes it will work, mostly not.
I don't see anything amiss in /var/log/XWin.0.log. How to troubleshoot?
