Re: startx gives error - X11 Problems



It looks as if your monitor/screens section is incorrectly configured
in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.

In the monitor section you have:

Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "VRC21-W3"
...

But in the screens section you have:

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Device  "ZLXp2-E"
 Monitor  "Dec VRC21-W3"
...


Which doesn't exist in your monitor section.  The identifier in the
monitor section should be idential to the monitor defined in the
screen section.

Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "Dec VRC21-W3"
...

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Device  "ZLXp2-E"
 Monitor  "Dec VRC21-W3"
...
