I typed xf86config and the system took me to a step of X configuration and the updated the config file in the X11 directory. However, when I typed startx at the command prompt. It gives me a lengthy message where some of the important part of the messeage read as " fatal server error, no screen found" and X window system failed to run. any help in troubleshooting this will be helpful. -Singh ----- Original Message ----- From: E.
