I just installed redhat5.0 on friday and am trying to get xwindows running
with xfree86. I have never done anything like this so I'm just trying to
follow the instructions but seem to have done something wrong. From what I
read, I thought I only had to run "Xconfigurator" and then "startx" and
I would be all set. However, when I did that, I got alot of error messages
ending with:
** A configured device found, but display modes could not be resolved **
Fatal server error:
no screens found
When resolving a problem related to a server crash, please send the full
server output, not just the last messages.
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): server error.
Part of the problem could be that I found very little info on my video
card, so I chose "Unlisted Card" from the list in Xconfigurator. The only
info on the card was:
VB-SIS-AGP-4MB
3D PRO SIS 6316
and what looks like a serial number
The company that sold me the PC told me that the card was made by Trident
and had 4MB of memory but couldn't be more specific.
I also have an unlisted monitor (LiteOn CM1566) but have the specs from it
and filled those in appropriately I think.
I'm currently looking for answers on the web but any hints about how to edit
the XF86Config file or anything else would be greatly appreciated.
Also, once I figure this part out, I want to know how to set things up so
that X starts up immediately upon login. On my Sun system, I have a .login
file that xinits a .Xsession file. Do I do something similar with linux??
