I went ahead and tried it--although I was hoping to get my hand held. I went through it step by step. At the end, I copied the XF86Config file to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 and ran "startx."(What it says to do in xfree86.org's "Quick-Start Guide to XFree86 Setup") I got this output: _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 waiting for X server to begin accepting connections . _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 .. _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 .._XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener _XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for tcp Fatal server error: Failed to establish all listening sockets When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 giving up. xinit: Connection refused (errno 61): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. ********* Possible culprit: After I told the config utility which video card I have, it said "Do NOT probe clocks or use any clocks line."
