problems with X
I have installed Debian 1.1.9 and xbase, xlib, xserver-svga, and fvwm
packages. I chose during xbase to use xdm to start x.. and during boot-up
I see the message "starting xdm".. however typing "xdm" at a root prompt
doesn't do anything. I tried xinit and got the following output:

giving up.

xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
I tried typing X, and got a Segmentation fault.
How can I start X ?? The XF86Config looks okay.. my card should be set up
right. Why doesn't X start?
Thanks, Chris.
