I hope you can help. Here are some particulars. I run an ibm 350 desktop 166Mhz. There is a S3 86c765(Trio64v+) video chip. The monitor is a micron 15FGX 50-60 Hz(no other info). Both the chip and the ibm type (clocktype?) specs were in xf86config setup. I chose a minium install custom package ie. SVGA and SVG16 and recommended libs. and a couple of window managers. After install, I copied XFConfig to the /usr/X11R6 path. I have tried changing the link to either Vga server(last implementing leaves X in /X11R6 dir.), set all ttys to "/usr/libexec/gettyPc" 1...8. The only line commented out in the "devices configured by xfconfig" section is the VideoRam 1024 line. .cshrc and .profile have the X11R6/lib paths shell path = /sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 Also, no files are in the X11/libexec dir. Results: startx sends message ""execve failed for /usr/X11R6/bin/X (errno2)"" then... ""_X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect:errno2"" this message runs six times and givesup. then... ""xinit:No such file or dierctory(errno2) unable to connect to X server"" then... ""Xinit no such process(errno3) Server err."" Don't know where to go from here, hope you can help. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus – Powerful. Affordable.
