Re: [newbie] (...) startx / xf86config problem again
Guys...guys.the correct command is "setuptool". This will bring up the interface that will allow you to configure not only X-windows, but sound, mouse, and a few other things that I can't think of at the moment. -- Mark Larry is NOT a cucumber...he's a stinkin pickle...

Re: [newbie] (...) startx / xf86config problem again
Krulo, Are you attempting to run this command as root (su)? If not, that would be why you're getting this error. Try this... At the LILO prompt type linux 3. That will drop you at a console login. Login as root and at the command prompt type setuptool. From here you can configure X-windows far easier. -- Mark Larry is NOT a cucumber...he's a stinkin pickle...

Re: [newbie] (...) startx / xf86config problem again
Isn't that program name case sensitive?
