Hello,

I am very new at UNIX, but I am learning as I go along. I have installed v4.4. I have followed directions to try and install xwindow, and keep getting error messages. I have tried to install it during the initial install, and also with the xf86config utility. 

The error message I get is "Fatal Server Error: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0". Of course, being a newbie, I do not know how to use the command line to send you the output file.

I've tried suggestiosn form the website and the user manual, but to no avail.

I have bought the retail version from Walnut Creek. I would really like to get the Xwindow up and going.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks,
