Re: X startup problems
Hello Dale, there is a file /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. That file lets you had
your xservers. you should have a line that says:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X
This line should be the last line in this file. If it isn't the xserver
won't get started. I hope this helps. Let me know if this is a fix.
