ok, why won't x work
I'm at my wits end, and it's the short end.
I've installed Debian for 68k mac on my centris 650, it has 49megs of
ram, and is on a dedicated 1.25 gig external hard drive. I have
instaled it from the "official" CD rom set. All shell stuff seems to
work, as well as all the shell programs I have tried.
But X won't start. I only get "can't find config file" and "tried (such
and such) files"
The bad news is that the config file is exactly where it said it
looked! The config file itself won't run, and the xf86setup is there,
but won't run either.
Do I have to run the "config" or "setup" files through a text editor or
something? are either of them or both corrupted by someting?
In addition, Linux still won't recognise my modem (a zoom 56 duel mode)
no matter what I do, so I can't get on the 'net to download a
(supposedly) working XF86Config file.
I know that I don't know squat about what I'm doing, but this is driving
me crazy. Any bright, or not so bright ideas out there?
