I believe you're experiencing the error because you are already running a window manager (xdm, fvwm, etc.) when you try to invoke afterstep. Try stopping your X window manager, comment your existing window manager in ~/.xinitrc, add `exec afterstep' to your ~/.xinitrc, and run startx to start up afterstep. # my old window manager # exec fvwm95 # start afterstep exec afterstep Make sure that the afterstep executable is in your path. Did you perform a `make install' as root? -- Regards, Norman C. Rice, Jr.
