I get no error messages, so i am not able to figure out what is going wrong. Here is my current setup: ii libxaw7 4.0.2-1 X Athena widget set library ii xbase-clients 4.0.2-1 miscellaneous X clients ii xdm 4.0.2-1 X display manager ii xfree86-common 4.0.2-1 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure ii xfs 4.0.2-1 X font server ii xlib6g 4.0.2-1 pseudopackage providing X libraries ii xlibs 4.0.2-1 X Window System client libraries ii xserver-common 4.0.2-1 files and utilities common to all X servers ii xserver-xfree8 4.0.2-1 the XFree86 X server ii xutils 4.0.2-1 XFree86 utility programs Configuration file, /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, should be correct, since no errors (warnings only) are printed out when launching XFree86 from terminal As i enter startx command, as root, i get: %% startx waiting for X server to begin accepting connections . .. .. .. until CTRL-C: .^Vxinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unexpected signal 2 %% What could be wrong in my setup? Where to look for further info from my system? I noticed the XFree86 has been compiled with Linux 2.2.18 while i am using 2.2.17. Could that be an issue? I am writing directly to you because i am not subscribed to any debian mailing list and, at present, i could not cope with too much mail traffic thank you Paolo Pumilia email: pumilia@est.it o o o cstc o o o ----- End forwarded message ----- -- G.
