Problems Starting X - Debian 3.0 rev0 Gnome 2.0

[Ben Hill <ben@javacoder.net>]

Hi,

I have set up Debian 3.0 rev0 and apt'd Gnome 2 onto it. It has set 
everything up, but when gdm tries to run it complains. I have tried a 
manual "startx", but then I get an error message:

<snip>
xinit: <snip> no server "X" in path
<snip>

and instructs me to make sure /usr/X11R6/bin is on the path. When I type 
a echo $PATH, the path does not contain /usr/X11R6/bin and the startx 
and xinit path from the which command are not running from this directory.

I have then done an:

export PATH=<some dirs such as /usr/sbin>:/usr/X11R6/bin

and a "which" tells me that startx and xinit are from the right path now.

However, running startx gleans the same message as before...

I am a bit stumped, so could anyone help??

Cheers,

Ben
