Can't start X Windows
I have installed Debian 2.1 off of an official CD. I chose the devel_comp
package of software and everything installed. But when I type "startx" or
"xinit" at the shell prompt, I get an error message informing me of a
fatal server error. Specifically, it says that there wasn't a config file
found! It tried looking in
/etc/X11/XF86Config
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.home
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config
but didn't find anything. I thought that maybe the file had not installed
but couldn't find it in dselect. Can someone give me some ideas on
what is happening here and how I can get X-Windows running?
Thanks,
Bryan Walton
