Whenever I press X I made a bad assumtion. I thought that it was just to test your monitor. I been reading thread's and relized it's a graphical interface? If so, all I get is a grey screen? Do I have a problem here? Because I can run KDE with no problems? Except that when the default screen come's on it screw's up!!!! Anyways, that's just my thought. :( ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stanislav Grozev" To: "Eduardo Damato" Cc: Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 8:12 AM Subject: Re: X problems > On Wed, Jun 12, 2002 at 01:10:49PM -0300, Eduardo Damato wrote: > > > Fatal server error: > > xf86OpenConsole: KDENABIO failed (Operation not permitted) > > > > I guess it must have something to do with KDE....but in fact i am using > > windowmaker as my default desktop.
