Is there any way lesstif could have changed anything in a negative way? .xinitrc is just:
code:
# Window Maker default X session startup script PATH="$PATH:/bin" # If you login from xdm, uncomment this to make error messages appear
# in the console window.
#
# tail -f /var/root/.xsession-errors > /dev/console &
I just found out lesstif left a directory behind, /usr/local/Lesstif, even though i did a pkg remove of it. Also, I can start x from /usr/x11r6/bin/x -quartz and it just gives me a grey screen.
I remember x used to start and give me xterm (and xclock or something), and once windowmaker was installed, they stopped appearing on startup. Is it possible that there might need to be a link to them or else i have no way of communicating with x? once again any help is appreciated, and thanks for previous advice. -------------------- -lj

reinstall WM and run the wmaker.inst, it automaticly fixed up your .xinitrc. I tried to run x from /usr/X11R6/bin/X -quartz, i got the same thing bc the the xinitrc locations and such. Add the path to your PATH file in /usr/share/init/tcsh/path (you may need to creat it): setenv PATH "${PATH}:/usr/X11R6/bin"
setenv MANPATH "${MANPATH}:/usr/X11R6/man" run 'startx -- -quartz ' from anywhere, makign sure you have the .xinitrc in your home with teh full path to the window manager you want. all should be fine now. iggy_ www.m00f.net

Your problem is/was you had NO window manager set to start when X starts -- X by itself wont get you more than a grey screen.
