I not sure if this is the right place to send these kind of questions but I'll ask anyways. When trying to start X-windows I type "startx" but all I get in return is a huge error message that reads as follows: execve failed for /usr/X11R6/bin/X (errno 2) X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 X11TransSocketUnixConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 giving up xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2);unable to connect to X server Xinit: No such process (errno 3);server error I have reinstalled FreeBsd several times but can't seen to troubleshoot this message. It may eb easy for everyone else but i'm only 15 and can't get this thing straightened out. Would you happen to know how to remedy this problem? If so please e-mail me at myke@programmer.net -mike ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
