Hello,
First of all, I'm still fairly new to XFree86 (and indeed X11 in
general) but am learning.
I have Linux 2.6 with an Intel 82810 DC100 and a Compaq Presario MV500
Color Monitor. It was working fine while I had a Samsung SyncMaster
700IFT hooked up to it, and XFree86 4.3.9, but I moved the computer into
a different place and this was the monitor I got. I had to reconfigure
the monitor. I screwed up my keyboard configuration (every key I
pressed changed the resolution) while messing around with the monitor,
so I decided "alright, time to upgrade".
I downloaded XFree86 4.6.0 from the FTP, got all the necessary tgzs in
hand, and installed. It finished, and at first glance it worked! I
"startx"ed and got xterm. I pushed a key and it put it on the display.
Yay!
Now, I have a new problem. I can't graphically login, or use XFree86 at
all, anymore. I type my name and password, it flashes a black screen,
and comes up the login screen, then I type my name and password, well,
you get the picture. My /var/log/messages is full of these errors:
Aug 9 01:09:51 Linux kdm: :0[5469]: Can't execute
"/etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup": No such file or directory
Aug 9 01:09:51 Linux kdm: :0[4868]: Cannot execute startup script
"/etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup"
Aug 9 01:09:51 Linux kdm: :0[5486]: Can't execute
"/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup": No such file or directory
I unzipped the Xstartup, Xsetup, Xsession, and Xreset files, but then I
just got xterm no matter what I tried. I gzip'ed them back up and
attempted to copy my old files (from 4.3.9). It flashed a black screen
and came up the login screen again when I tried that. So I removed
those and now I'm back at square one.
Trying to "startkde" manually came up a bunch of "Xlib: connection to
':0.0' refused by server" messages (probably because kdm has the server
locked).
I'm attaching my XF86Config file, the XFree86.0.log file, and screen
output of "XFree86 -version" and "uname -a".
Thank you for the help!
