Category Listing: | I installed x-windows with the install program, but I can't get it to run!! |
During the setup I was asked to configure X-windows. did that, but dring the re-boot it didn't go in to X-windows. read up on it in redhat install html's, tryed to run it with the "startx" command as it said but still will not run. what did I do or not do for it not to run?
If you have installed X-windows as you said you did..It should run properly..Im assuming that you have loaded the right server for your card. First , make sure that you X points to the correct server that you have installed during setup. Look at /etc/X11/ . See to it that the sybolic link X points to the right server in your /usr/X11R6/bin/name_of_your_server by issuing ls -l command. If not issue type this command: $ rm -s /etc/X11/X $ ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/name_of_your_server /etc/X11/X Thats it i guess. :)
