Re: [nv-l] X11 vfb problem

[Paul <pstroud@bellsouth.net>]

I googled a bit and came up with this command line:

/usr/lpp/X11/bin/X -force -vfb -x GLX -x abx -x dbe :n &

Now this doesn't really look any different than yours,
it adds some additional x-extensions which should not
be needed for NetView and -force. Try the command line
above and see if it works, if not, I think its time to
contact AIX and find out what the "new" command line
is(the page I found this on metioned 5.1). If you have
to go that route, please write back and let us know what
you come up with! If it does work, try it without the
-x options. Also, make sure something weird hasn't happened
and something is already using :2, try starting it with :3.
