Hello all, I'm so new to to Linux it is silly. I'm reading everything I can get
my hands on. I can't get X to
work on my HP 712/80. I've tried a XF86Config file
from the list, but it bombed out. I've tried a XF86Config-4
file from the list, but it bombed out too. Every time I try to run xinit, I'm getting "can't
open display". From previous messages read, I figure I must have to use the
framebuffer stuff...but HOW? I
used the fbdev tag in the XF86Config file, and it seems to get a bit further,
but still can't open the display. I need some idiot guide steps in the right direction....Please
be patient with me. Thanks Mark |
