Actually there is no way to start the X server, even after console
login. Maybe the error comes from elsewhere : i cannot start the font
server either, it prints 'error : cannot open session'. The same error
occurs when using su. 
I tried Xconfigurator manually. After the xfs error, the program launches
normally, but i cannot test the X server. the error message is :
(==) Server Layout "layout1"
(**) |--> Screen "screen1" (0)
(**) |  |-->Monitor "Iiyama|Iiyama 1701GT, Vision Master Pro 400"
(**) |  |-->Device "Matrox Millenium G200 4Mb"

But the error may as well come from the lack of font server. I didn't see
this during installation.

any idea what's wrong? if you skip the test, does it work afterwards?
can you have a look at the /etc/X11/XF86Config and /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ?

thanks, cu Pixel.




[Cooker] 7.2beta installation test

2000-09-25 Thread Pascal Grossé

Hi,

I installed today the current 7.2beta tree, VERSION = 
Linux-Mandrake Ulysses-i586 2925  2:34.

I had some problems :

- during expert individual package selection, the same strange behavior i
already signaled on this list : sometimes when a dependency popup window
with many packages listed appear, it does not get the keyboard focus (i
can still navigate the list using arrow keys for example). Even weirder
: if i press the ENTER key of course the window does not dissapear, but if
i press N times the ENTER key, i have to click N+1 time on the ok button
if i want to continue (some stack behind ?). I know this sounds completely
silly, but it is a reproducible (minor) bug. Remark that it nevers happens
when only few packages are listed. You could arg i should use the mouse
anyway, but i preffer the keyboard, it's many times faster :-)

- The X configuration failed (and it did work for all 7.2beta tests
before, at least for me). When trying to test my configuration, an error
panel appeared, listing all the parameters (which are correct, this is
just the 9485 time i install X windows :-), but saying there is a
configuration error. 

All remaining things worked well (at least the one i tested). I have to
say that the way you fixed all the bugs between beta1 and today is very
impressive. Please continue that good work !

Best regards,
Pascal Grossé
