Xvesa -nozap not working anymore?
« on: November 04, 2010, 09:05:34 PM »
I installed the Xvesa package, edited my .xsession to put "-nozap" as the first command-line option on "Xvesa", exited X, ran 'startx' -- and X didn't come up.  I did the same with full persistence on hard drive, rebooted, and X came up, but no desktop.  Anyone have a clue what I should try next?

TC or MC?
Could you paste the full first line of .xsession
Did you run xsetup ?

No problems here: the X server from the 'Xvesa.tcz' extension (i.e. '/usr/local/bin/Xvesa') works fine and does what one would expect after adding the '-nozap' option to '~/.xsession' (i.e. politely ignoring 'Ctrl-Alt-Backspace').

I had no need to run 'xsetup', as I assume that the other options (e.g. resolution and mouse) will be the same as for the "built-in" 'Xvesa' (i.e. '/usr/bin/Xvesa'). Plus the fact that '/usr/local/bin' "trumps" '/usr/bin' in $PATH takes care of the question of which one is run. Mind you, to be sure I used hash -r after the tce-load -wi Xvesa in my test.

I must have been making one of my too-sleepy-to-be-doing-this-really mistakes.  Once I programmed in the tce-load of Xvesa and the -nozap for .xession, it worked perfectly.  Thanks, everyone :-)
