Howdy all, I just installed Slink onto an HP pentium 166 from CD. I'm using Windowmaker... When I tried to use Eterm as root, it worked... when I tried to use it as a normal user, it said something about /dev/null and segfaulted...
/dev/null is set up like so... crw-rw-rw- xterm, however, worked for both root and normal users. I then used apt to upgrade to Potato over ethernet.... Eterm still works for root, but now when I try to run Eterm OR xterm as normal user, absolutely nothing happens. No window, no disk-noises, nothing. However, if I switch to twm, I can get a cheesy-looking xterm. Strange? One last clue.... when I log out of Windowmaker, before switching to back to wdm, a screen of strange SVGA-looking chaotic graphics briefly flashes - it does NOT do this for root. Any clues? Thanks in advance, Rich
