Xwindows

["John C. Ellingboe" <jcell@netnav.com>]

Hello to the Debian users list.

I have hade good luck so far in setting up my system with Debian 1.3.1
(kernal 2.0.29) from the FTP site.  I had installed the Xwindows and it
came up at boot time but was a complete mess so I deinstalled and
started over.  I thought the installation went proper this time but it
doesn't come up at boot time, or with XDM, STARTX or XINIT.  Also there
are no indications of any added processes with the ps command.  With XDM
the disk runs for a second and I am returned to the system prompt.  I
get the following message with either STARTX or XINIT.

_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2

       the above message 6 times

giving up.
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to Xserver
xinit: No such process (erno 3):  Server error.

The installed packages are.

Xserver-svga
Xserver-vga16
Xbase
fvwm95
fvwm-common
plus some others

None of the packages indicated any missing dependances.

Where should I start looking for the source of this problem.  I didn't
see anything with a quick look in the logs but I could have missed
something.  XF86Config appears to be in order per the included
docs/manpages.  I will provide any output necessary on request.

Also where and what file/s do I get to install a stable version of
Netscape with this version of Debian.

Thanks in advance for any help.
