The September 2002 Linux Journal (page 26) showed how to tar -xzvf ...
su make install a new Window Manager (IceWM). The instructions end
with "create a .xinitrc file containing the line exec icewm, and then
type startx".
When I type startx I get the following
==============================================
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
Please report problems to xfree86 at xfree86.org.
xinit: unexpected signal 2.
=============================================
I suspect I have to be in the NON GUI mode. I'd like to be able to get
to a NON GUI mode so I can start my x server. I'll just be playing
with the new Window Manager and have opened up a scratch account to do
my playing in. How do I get startx to fire up the x server?
