Hi, Just one note, I sent this message to the Questions list a couple of days ago, and haven't received a relpy. Is there no other option that re-installing X?. At least, I can only see reinstalling X as the best option at the moment. uname -a output: FreeBSD Bismuth 3.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE #0: Thu Sep 16 18:25:12 GMT 1999 jhay@exteension.mikom.csir.co.za:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 When I tried to run startx, I got the following message: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "ld-linux.so.2" not found So, I don't know whether this was the correct thing to do or not, I downloaded the file "ld-linux.so.2". Now, I get the following message when I run startx: Bus error - core dumped This then creates a file called xinit.core in my home directory. When I run xdm, I get the login screen, but after logging in, it just sends me back to the login screen. The file .xsession-errors contains the following: exec: /home/drdugg/.xsession: permission denied I must just point out that sometimes I tried to run xdm as a regular user, and not after running su, by mistake. On the X Desktop, I have GNOME with Enlightenment, but haven't actually loaded them because the X Server keeps giving me the abovementioned error messages. Both .xinitrc and .xsession contain just one line, exec gnome-session. TIA DouglasF To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
