Or is it best to do it manually? For reference the paths are all fine, I'm running bash, but it doesn't work for a sh session either. startx, xinit, and the XF86_Mach64 are all there. Heck the Xf86Config looks fine even. But none of the X programs work even so. xf86config doesn't even run! And no error messages other than the programs aren't valid commands. This one really has me confused. Thanks for all your help and sorry it has taken a bit for me to get back to this. I have been installing more things on the NT server at work afterhours.
