Re: What's wrong with /etc/init.d/x script:...moduleID returns double...and display setting problem

After a poorly done stowaway install, I've tracked down my remaining
problems (after cleanup) to one or two places.

#1. The x startup script has a function module_id(), whose purpose I
guess is to return a simple string identifying the iPaq unit, and this
is used by the switch/case statement later in the script. Problem is the
function returns " iPAQ 3600 iPAQ 3600"...yet the case statement checks
for " iPAQ3600".

I've checked the contents of /proc/hal/assets and /proc/hal/model, and
everything seems fine to my eyes. Even put in some simple echo
statements to make sure the right value is coming back...but it
isn't...I'm seeing double, and the script won't execute. What's up here?

#2. When init attempts to start X it squawks about my DISPLAY
variable....but it's the same as it was when I first installed
(:0.0)..why is this a problem now?

I am able to execute portions of the X script and bring up the main X
window (w/Penguin) on the iPaq, but the desktop never loads...

I am <almost> at wits end here...don't have any/many more ideas. I've
ripped thru most/all the startup scripts, and don't have a clue. I'm
going to bed now...must attend to basic needs.
