Re: Trying to configure X
I believe I have made all the correct selections using xf86config, but after
that when I try startx here is what happens:
X: exec of /usr/bin/X11XF86_SVGA failed
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
I am stuck at that point. Any ideas???
