Re: problems with xdm (4.0.1)
I was getting a 'X: /etc/X11/Xserver not configured' error when running 'xinit' or 'X' directly, yet 'xf86cfg' was able to initialise.

Re: problems with xdm (4.0.1)
Yeah, xf86cfg dies on me,too. But I got it to work by switching to the console. and doing this: export DISPLAY=:0 X & xf86cfg I found that the keyboard setup screen crashes xf86cfg. Also, accessX setup also crashes it. I get "compilation failed from stdin" along with "Couldn't get keyboard." I'll let ya know about this. I do find it works quite well overall. ** Derek J Witt ** * Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Home Page: http://www.flinthills.com/~djw/ * *** "...and on the eighth day, God met Bill Gates." - Unknown ** On Thu, 3 Aug 2000, Peter Toneby wrote: > Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 12:53:15 +0200 > From: Peter Toneby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Derek J Witt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: debian-x@lists.debian.org > Subject: Re: problems with xdm (4.0.1) > Resent-Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 05:53:23 -0500 (CDT) > Resent-From: debian-x@lists.debian.org > > On Thu, Aug 03, 2000 at 03:22:29AM -0500, Derek J Witt wrote: > > Have you tried running xf86cfg, xf86config, or XFree86 -configure?

Re: problems with xdm (4.0.1)
Yeah, xf86cfg dies on me,too. But I got it to work by switching to the console. and doing this: export DISPLAY=:0 X & xf86cfg I found that the keyboard setup screen crashes xf86cfg. Also, accessX setup also crashes it. I get "compilation failed from stdin" along with "Couldn't get keyboard." I'll let ya know about this. I do find it works quite well overall. ** Derek J Witt ** * Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Home Page: http://www.flinthills.com/~djw/ * *** "...and on the eighth day, God met Bill Gates." - Unknown ** On Thu, 3 Aug 2000, Peter Toneby wrote: > Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 12:53:15 +0200 > From: Peter Toneby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Derek J Witt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: problems with xdm (4.0.1) > Resent-Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 05:53:23 -0500 (CDT) > Resent-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > On Thu, Aug 03, 2000 at 03:22:29AM -0500, Derek J Witt wrote: > > Have you tried running xf86cfg, xf86config, or XFree86 -configure?

Yes, xf86cfg dies quite fast, and doesn't work for me, but I had an "old" XF4-config that I use. And there is a report further down about the cause of this problem. /Peter -- Alpha Test Version: Too buggy to be released to the paying public. Beta Test Version: Still too buggy to be released.

Have you tried running xf86cfg, xf86config, or XFree86 -configure? Just a thought. ** Derek J Witt ** * Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Home Page: http://www.flinthills.com/~djw/ * *** "...and on the eighth day, God met Bill Gates." - Unknown **
