[thelist] x-windows

[McAtee, Malcolm]

Thanks a lot for the help -

Make sure xfs is started first. Its the X Font Server, and you'll need
it to run X. If you're running redhat, /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start then
try running X

How do I start xconfigurator??

Thanks in advance for the help ---

Malcolm -

Make sure xfs is started first. Its the X Font Server, and you'll need
it to run X. If you're running redhat, /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start then
try running X
I receive  "a no such file or directory"  message although I not sure if my
syntax is correct (I really am a newbie)

If that doesn't work, run through the X setup again using Xconfigurator
of xf86config

Can I start xcongfigurator from my command prompt(?) or do I need to reboot
to my linux startup diskette and go through part of the installation again.
(I have done this already but do not seem to find the xconfigurator again..

If you didn't get the right 'server'(think of an X server as your video
card driver), insert your CD, find the correct package and install it.

I did not see the exact video driver in the list I am using an S3
incorporated trio 3D display driver

If you need help with any of that, just shout and include more detailed
information :)
