Hello, you're correct. I got a running X. On doing "sudo startx -- /opt/MPX/bin/X -config /../xorg.conf -retro" and putting this in background by appending "&" and then doing "ps" I can see a process for x server running....
Now, to have a gdm and other stuff running, on starting X, should I write a script, as in some more piece of code along with the startx command? coz just a blank screen doesn't help in any way and I have to keep rebooting my virtualbox On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 8:51 PM, Simon Thum <simon.t...@gmx.de> wrote: > Flittigs at PICT wrote: > > Hello all, we are undergrad students trying to install and compile the > > latest X release on a virtual box.
