Lets not forget about the graphical /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86Setup. It's a little less intimidating to new users, (me thinks). -Chris -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of jeff Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 1999 9:07 AM To: alfred@sol.racsa.co.cr Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; iratus@home.com Subject: Re: startx?? > Hi everyone! > I am a new user of FreeBSD, I just install 3.1 from the CDROM. > After login as root, I want to start XWindow, so I type startx, but I get > the following message: > execve failed for /use/X11R6/bin/x (errno2) > _X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect: errno=2 > (repeating six times) > giving up. > xinit: Nosuch file or directory (erro2): unable to connect to X server > xinit: No such process (errno3): server error. > I missed some file to install, (I got the CD from CheapBytes), or did I just > do any step wrong? > And I am puzzled by the command in FreeBSD, where can I get to know some > basic command? > Really thanks for telling me the answer. > Alfred > alfred@sol.racsa.co.cr > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > Hello Alfred-What the error message is telling you is that you have not configured the X server-You can do this configuration by going to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 and invoking xf86config-You can follow the script as you go through the configuration routine-I am assuming that you have installed all of the X files and also have installed a window manager such as fvwm or any one you like-Also BE CAREFUL!! You will need to know both horizontal and virtical sync frequencies for you moniter- You should be able to get these from the manual that came with your moniter. The hanbook in /usr/share/docs is also an excellant place to get information on getting up and running X-Hope this will help and good luck (BTW-In general the man pages and the doc files are excellant sources of info about X and the system in general) jeff phillips iratus@home.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
