Re: x11 - not loading



Hi,

have you installed everything of X with 'tasksel' (perhaps during
installation)? Have you ran anXious? Do you know what kind of video chip
you have? Does Linux know this too?

The XF86Config is usually in /etc/X11/ and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/. I believe
that the latter is prefered.

You can try to see if your X server works with:
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_VGA16 -xf86config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config


Greetz,
