Can't get X to Run, Please help!
I recently installed DEBIAN Linux and downloaded some packages.
My problem is when I try to start X it wont start and I get this message
back.
Fatal server error:
No valid modes found.
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to xserver
xinit: No such process (errno 3): server error.
I'm running the "SVGA" server and ran XF86Setup as "root". I also had to
edit
/etc/X11/Xserver because it originally had "None" for the server
The contents of /etc/X11/Xserver are
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA
Console
<< EOF >>
The is an older COMPAQ computer here at work that I thought I would test
LINUX on. I believe it is a Cirrus Logic with .5 meg video ram. I used
640x480 for monitor resolution "standard VGA" in the XF86Setup. I'm not
sure what color mode?
When I startx after it kicks me back to a prompt my screen text is red.
Any help would be appreciated.
Dave
