Flwm+Xorg appears to possibly malfunction with 2.4
« on: October 09, 2009, 11:20:56 PM »
I will need repeated and better controlled testing to confirm this is a bug, but this is what I am experiencing:
From fresh usb installation of 2.4:
- Installed graphics 2.6
- Installed Xorg 7.4
- Exited to prompt
- Executed sudo startx
Following this Xorg started fine. I got the correct resolution on laptop 1280x800.
However, right click and selecting logout does not do anything. This means no shutdown or reboot available. Hard reboot and restarting X repeated the same behaviour.
It worked fine in 2.3... Must be some flwm recent changes?
It is late night so I will try more testing tomorrow, to try both flwm and jwm, I am just wondering if anyone experienced the same...

Why do you sudo startx?
That would run startx as root, not tc.

Sorry for late response. I was out all weekend...
Without sudo it did not start...
I hope to resume testing today...

Install the latest version.

There has been a new release since 2.4.
Many people see what is. Some people see what can be, and make a difference.
