X -- xinit dies but the server alone will run?

[Asher Haig <ahaig@iglobal.net>]

Ok.. this problem seems kinda strange to me, maybe one of you guys can 
explain it.

I'm running (well -- trying) Accelerated X laptop edition. Those of you 
who know about X, please don't stop reading there -- I don't think the 
problem is AccelX specific. 

When I try to run startx, X begins to start, the server starts loading 
and I see the startup screen, and then it dies as if it'd been shut down. 
No error messages are created (see bottom of mail for log). I narrowed 
the problem down to what seems to be xinit -- when I do xinit (which 
startx does) on its own, the same thing happens.

The strange part comes in in that when I run the server on its own (X :0) 
and then do DISPLAY="localhost:0.0";afterstep& it works (albeit not 
completely).

Looking at xinit's man page, it appears to me that xinit is essentially 
doing the same thing I can do manually.

This problem starts when I upgraded to hamm. I upgraded all of the X 
packages and then reinstalled AccelX just to make sure -- still the same 
problem. 

Computer specifics: This is a Dell LM166mmx with a Neomagic 128xv+ card.

2.0.33 kernel on hamm.

Idiots at XIG won't give me support until hamm is an official release.

Would appreciate any help!
