It is (and has always been there) and there is a symlink from
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config to this file.

Sorry i did not include any error messages. It says:

Could not find config fiel.
Tried:
 /etc/XF86Config
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.(voyager)
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config

Fatal server error: No config file found!
Note, the X server no longer looks for XF86Config in $HOME
bla bla
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)


I'll check for a .xsession but i don't think this is the problem.

major problems (was:Re: fetchmail)

2001-09-15 Thread Frank Zimmermann 

I apologise for my late response but i was quite busy and the about
what happend in the Us i couldn't get myself on the PC to solve my
little problem.
But today I thought it's time to do so. I found out that I have
multiple problems that seemed to have appeared suddenly.
It's the fetchmai problem describe in the original thread then I
found out that dictd is not starting (not even by hand) and today I
cannot start x as a user (works fine as root).

Any hints what could have happend? Hardware? Any tools that might
help me to find out whats wrong?

i am very thankfull fo rany help,

Frank
