I could not startx even when I was "root". but eventually I solved the problem by the following methods. either set kernel_securelevel=0 in /etc/rc.conf or boot the system into single user mode.

I even posted the question here on this mailing list only to find that nobody responded. Of course, this meant to me that nobody knew the problem. I even sent a bug report to the XF86 folks and received no response from them as well. *shrug* Let me know if you get an answer to this one as I am still wondering how to fix it even though I have since not used that machine anymore. - Jim At 07:51 AM 2/1/2001 +0800, Alan Tsang wrote: >Hi > >I installed and setup the Release 4.2 but was unable to startx. > >I followed the normal procedures, boot the installation floppies and >configured everything. > >In the installation screen, I was able to use XF86Setup to configure the X, >started X server test and save the configuration file. > >However, when I boot the installed system and tried to startx, I got message >"xf86OpenConsole: KDENABIO failed (operation not permitted). > >Even worse, when I tried to reconfigure X using XF86Setup or inside >/stand/sysinstall, the configuration program just cannot start the X server >anymore. > >I would be grateful if anyone can help on the issue. > >Thanks > >Alan Tsang > > > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message - Jim - NOTJames - jconner@enterit.com - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - | Today's errors, in contrast: | - | Windows - "Invalid page fault in module kernel32.dll at 0032:A16F2935" | - | UNIX - "segmentation fault - core dumped" | - | Humans - "OOPS, I've fallen and I can't get up" | - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- - (To view this properly use a non-proportional font in your MUA) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
