Have a look in /usr/X11R6/bin: cd /usr/X11R6/bin ls -l XF86_* X You'll probably get a list of display servers like XF86_SVGA. You'll probably also get this error message: ls: X: No such file or directory If you do, select the XF86_FOO driver that you use (let's say XF86_SVGA for this example) and create a symlink to it like this: ln -s XF86_SVGA X Now do the same ``ls -l'' command as before and you'll see something like this: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9 Jun 8 04:40 X -> XF86_SVGA Oh yeah, that reminds me, you should be doing this as root. ;-) Now try startx again. :-) Later, Sheldon.
