nanogui: Thread: newbie

hi all,

I just installed microwindows-0.9 on my slackware 9, the tutorial
examples, all work great. I was however trying to run nano-x from the
shell without starting X, and I got the error message "nano-X: can't
connect to X11 server". When I installed microwindows, i copied the
config.x11 to config. Is there any way to launch nano-X without X11
server.


Thank you

:  Is there any way to launch nano-X without X11 server.

Use the Configs/config.fb as your config file, this will build nano-X
for framebuffer.  You'll have to have your kernel setup for framebuffer,
of course.

Regards,

Greg

Thank you

Now, I created a shell script with the following:

bin/nano-X & bin/nxclock & sleep 10000

Once executed, all I get is a black screen with my mouse cursor, and if 
I hit the pause key, I get the error message:

nxclient: retry connect attempt 1
nxclient: retry connect attempt 2
nxclient: retry connect attempt 3
----
nxclient: retry connect attempt 10
Cannot open graphics

try something like this:

#!/bin/sh
bin/nano-X &
sleep 10
bin/nxclock &
wait
