[newbie] X Server Problem.
Hello to all I am user of Linux Mandrake 7.1 and it causes me a problem when I want to configure X Server. The installation process works including the selection of the whole hardware perfectly but when restarting the system it is unable to pull up X as much in automatic way as through "startx". This doesn't work if in my system already this installed MS Windows. Does somebody have idea of to that is? A greeting.

Has unformatted "empty space" on the drive at the moment (maybe that's why?) Had to use windoze to download xsis.tgz from suSE site to get my distro up and running. Can't get xf86config (or XF86Setup for that matter) to set up my x-server. I think the commands are: #tar xzvf /dir/filename -C/usr/X11R6 The problem: xsis.tgz is in DOS tried: #tar xzvf /DOS/xsis.tgz -C/usr/X11R6 and won't recognize DOS. Any help would be appreaciated, Chris. You need to have your DOS partition set up in your /etc/fstab so that Linux knows where it is. Also you'll need to mount that partition so that you can explore it. John

Re: [newbie] X Server Problem
Hi Edward, You have to change a 3 to a 5 in the /etc/inittab file in order to be able to start X on boot. id:3:initdefault: should become id:5:initdefault: This changes the runlevel. Hope it works ! - Regis. -- === Regis Santonja tel: +-+-(33) (0)5 61 19 13 61 Motorola fax: +-+-(33) (0)5 61 41 58 08 BP1029 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 31023 Toulouse Cedex France ===

I then downloaded the Nvidia TNT2 driver files...shut down the X Server, installed the drivers, shut down the machine, put my Nvidia card in...then ran XConfigurator. The card works fine, however, the machine no longer boots that initial graphical login screen which allows me to choose my graphical environment (KDE, Gnome, etc.). Run your favorite X setup util (XF86Config, XF86Setup, etc.) and reselect your video card. It sounds as if your system still thinks it's trying to use your Gloria Synergy card. At least that's my best guess! John
