This is a known bug in xfree86-common-3.3.2.3a-9. A bug report has already been filed against the package, so it should be fixed soon. Here is an explanation and instructions how to fix it from the bug report: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/32/32713.html Package: xfree86-common Version: 3.3.2.3a-9 startx fails with a syntax error in /etc/X11/Xsession. The following modification fixed the problem for me: --- /etc/X11/Xsession~ Sun Java 31 19:58:00 1999 +++ /etc/X11/Xsession Sun Jan 31 19:59:00 1999 @@ -44,6 +44,7 @@ exit fi fi + ;; default) ;; *) // Heikki -- Heikki Vatiainen * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tampere University of Technology * Tampere, Finland
