You can leave away the '/usr/X11R6/bin/X' part. You only need to specify the server if you want to run another server than the default one, which is /usr/X11R6/bin/X [1]. For the rest you are right. The generic syntax for this is: startx <client to start> <arguments for client> -- <server to start> <arguments for server> Any of the arguments to startx can be omitted. A <client to start> or <server to start> is supposed to start with a dot (.) or slash (/). Remco [1] actually /usr/X11R6/bin/X is a wrapper that starts the server specified in /etc/X11/Xserver , but that doesn't matter in this case -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
