Well Kirk, the seg fault is in the script itself. I put the setuid bit on Xvfb and it works fine now. When I run rap realplayer seg faults, but when I run it manually like this: export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 Xvfb :0 & realplay & I here the welcome sound. So now its just a matter of figuring out the script, I may need to write my own script from scratch. Here's my shell specs from the control-x control-v command: GNU bash, version 2.03.0(1)-release (i386-slackware-linux-gnu) I think it may be a shell problem, I'll make rap use bash 1.14.7 and see what that does to it.
