Another X Problem

[shebang]

While I was installing Mandrake RC 1, it froze on X Config and I wanted to config it through CLI and I ran xf86config and everything worked out pretty good until I cannot startx

it says:

execve cannot find /etc/X11/X : (errno2)

I have no idea what that means what does that mean?

hello,
on my system this is a sym link to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 , if it is not on yours i would make one, i.e. ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 /etc/X11/X

Hey, how do i set it up so that it can start X by default it doesn't do that...how do i do that?

Open up your /etc/inittab
find two lines that says this:

id:3:initdefault:

change to this

id:4:initdefault:

Hope this helps, yours may be 5 by default, I dunno how mandy runlevels work, these are slack.

Thanks, Countach. got it working but it was 5 like you pointed...

Hi! I rebooted again and now X doesn't start on startup until i type in startx

is anything wrong, my dm is set to xdm...as well..

[countach44]

What does your /etc/inittab say for default runlevel?

[shebang]

Right now it says 5

[countach44]

change it to 4, that should fix it
