[K12OSN] XFree fatal error 104

[Bert Rolston]

Hi Terrell,

Well, it's almost there, but not quite.

When I tried to logout, I got the following error.

(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile ()

So I am assuming this relates to the inittab file.

I re-enabled the commented out line.

Any suggestions?

Bert
