Re: No WindowManager (Was NVidia Problem)



I am using XFree86 v4.0.1.  Does one still use startx?  I have been typing XFree86 -configfile= <> to start the X server.  When I type startx it seems that the system tried to run X ver3 which does not support my card.  At least, it tries to use the XF86Config instead of XF86Config-4.

Maybe startx is using xserver-svga when it should be using xf86server?

How can I figure which server X is trying to start?

put wmaker in your .xinitrc and run startx. if your
x is set up properly, it will start up. the same for
icewm - no exec icewm, just plain icewm.
