An idea for just maybe ultimately getting cursed gtk working. Have all of X11 installed and run the startx command. Wait for your sound card to play a bit of music, then hit the three key combination right-control+right-alt+backspace and wait. You should hear a screen reader announce things shutting down and when that's all over with hit return and you should be back at your text prompt. Having run startx and then having shut it down may no guarrantee properly set up the display for you. xterm also uses display so if you can get past the display problem with xterm, you may also be able to get past it in cursed gtk when you run inside of it. -- ----- Microsoft; mismanagement, and stupidity are all weapons of mass destruction. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
