hello,
i was asked to type:
startx 2> Xerror.log
by a helper on this email list, it was because my svga X-server would install and give the GUI congratourly message yet when i types 'startx' it simply wouldnt load up.

this was the same for both debian 2.0 and 2.2r2
so here is the output message

thanks.

Okay, now send /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config. Also, do an "ls -l /etc/X11/XF86Config" to see if it's a link to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config. It should be.

Also, what size monitor do you have? Do you know the specs on it? If so, what are the max horiz. and ver. refresh rates?

When you run XF86Setup, does it give an option on the location to which it saves the config file? If so, point it to /etc/X11/XF86Config and make sure that's a link as mentioned above.
