Hi, Another question from i dump middleage person.... My xserver is not very willing to start after config (/stand/sysconfig Post-install-X) The config.prog. is trying to start x but leaves me the message "Unable to start xserver". Then I'm supposed to click OK to start the config al over again, and all computer seaces function. I have to reboot it Trying to start with "startx" is resulting in an error 635 (or something). And I have all the xservers installed. Earlier I had both RedHat and Caldera installed, and there where no problem with X. I've choosen no extrem config, just an ordinary VGA with an ordinary cirrus 5434 and a standard VGA monitor. My questions is: Must the xserver have a desktop like fvwm or kde to start? Is it possibly like I'm short of links between X and xserver somewhere? Is there any desktop env. installed at all from the FreeBSD CD-ROM 3.1, or is this something I have to install afterwards? This isn't easy You know. Reading hundreds of mans and Howtos in a foreign language just to snap a little deail. And with "vi" wich force me to struggle through html-tags. Much complaining, isn't it? :-) Thomas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
