Message-ID: <20000223021000.A74659@Fedaykin.here> Reply-To: lioux@linf.unb.br Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear guys, I am running monday's current, Mesa-glx for Riva, XFree 3.3.6 and KDE 1.1.2. All from monday's ports tree. Well, I think I can't say I am running this system, for I am getting the following message whenever I try startx: Authentication failed - cannot start X server. Perhaps you do not have console ownership? _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. Damn, I know this must be my mistake. However, I can't seem to get X up. However, /stand/sysinstall -> Configure -> XFree86 -> XF86Setup works smooth. Before you mention it: yeah, yeah, I tried startx as root against my best judgement; and no, it did not work. :) UCONSOLE is enabled. My .xinitrc follows at the end of this file. What am I missing? A new authentication system? My guess. I went through the FAQ and most of the simple docs; I must be overlooking something. Any and all help appreciated.
