Yeah, and command line startx fails with me in various ways.

I'm happy with it, but I don't think OSR 6 is ready for Prime Time.

The display you fixed for me on my console I like (as user "bob").

However, after it's in place, other startx as user "root" work
sometimes, others not - most often failing with an error message
saying that /dev/mouse can't be opened.

Sometimes after I've started VNC, sometimes before.

Sometimes I can get two X sessions running, sometimes not (doing
a reboot between tests sometimes). When I get a second running,
I can't close it down within that second session - I have to go
to the first one and send an HUP to the login of the second one.

There's work to be done, but I'm a happy camper.
