This is sound advice IF your video card will run with xf86-vga16. That was my problem with my SiS 6386. Read the documentation, please. It indicates what cards are supported, and in what modes. Better than when I was installing mine. --David David Teague, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Because software support is free, timely, useful, technically accurate, and friendly.

Re: Dumb X Windows Question
The XF86Setup app used to be in the xserver-vga16 package, I believe, but now it is in the xf86setup package. Do an "apt-get install xf86setup", then run XF86Setup. That should get you going. ktb wrote: > XF86Setup is the program you want to run to set up 'X' which creates > XF86Config. Have you tried running XF86Setup as root? Do you have > 'xbase' installed?

Re: Dumb X Windows Question
Do you have: xfree a x-windows-manager xf86setup and many other things you'll probably want installed?? If you install x on a system where you don't have anything x on already, I would suggest you use dselect for it.

Re: FW: Dumb X Windows Question
You might want to try 'task-xwindows' or something similar. I'm not sure which it is, but will install just about everything you need.

XF86Config isn't a command; it's a data file. The command is "xf86config". I imagine it is in xserver-common. XF86Setup is a command, but it's from a supplemental package ... xf86setup, I believe ... and it requires that you have the VGA16 X server installed (package xf86-vga16).

Re: Dumb X Windows Question
XF86Setup is the program you want to run to set up 'X' which creates XF86Config. Have you tried running XF86Setup as root? Do you have 'xbase' installed? Have you verified XF86Setup exists on your system? Just some things I would look for. hth, kent Jay Kelly wrote: > > Ok I have another dumb question. > If I want to install X Windows what do I do.

Dumb X Windows Question
Ok I have another dumb question. If I want to install X Windows what do I do. I have already tried "apt-get install xserver-svga" and it installs, but when I try to run the XF86Config I get "command not found" and I get the same for XF86Setup. What did I forget to install?

This is a *big* security risk - anyone one your computer can see your screen (and passwords, keystrokes,...) You need a file called .Xauthority in your home directory - AFAIK it is made by the Xserver on startup. It should look something like this (the permissions are important - it must not be readable by anyone else): [2]wyvern:~$ ls -l .Xauthority -rw--- 1 bridgett mdev2 150 Feb 23 19:27 .Xauthority Try looking at the "xauth" manpage.

X-Windows Question
I'm pretty embarassed to be asking this question, since I'm sure there's a simple resolution. But, here goes: I have recently tried to follow a better security model, by creating a user account for myself on my Linux box, instead of doing everything as root. In doing so, I have somehow managed to change a setting somewhere such that I can no longer get X to boot from my user account. I can start an X-windows session as root, no problem. I get the dread: _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno=111 xinit: Connection refused (errno 111) unable to connect to X I have tried setting my "/home/bfulgham/.xserverrc" to start my X server, both as /usr/X11R6/bin/X and /etc/X11/X, and /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_S3V" and I have set my DISPLAY=:0.0, I have verified that my X is linked to XF86_S3V and I have skimmed the man pages, but can't figure out why it works for root, but not for my user account. I have verified that my /etc/X11/Xsession files allow console (and finally, all-access), but to no avail. Anyone have an idea? I'm sure it's pretty easy... -Brent -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
