Message-ID: <20010223211841.A685@quandary.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm trying to set up X on a 4.2-STABLE (as of 2/13/2001 cvsup) machine. I used xf86config to generate /etc/XF86Config, and copied it to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/. /usr/X11R6/bin/X is a link to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA, the permissions on which are set to 755. When I run xinit or startx, either as a user or as root, I get: execve failed for /usr/X11R6/bin/X (errno 8) I don't think this was the case last fall when the system was a 4.0 straight- out-of-the-box install. At the time, I got as far as trying out the modes and not having them sync up correctly. /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA still has a timestamp from that initial 4.0 install. Any other info I can provide? Where should I go from here? Thanks! -- Amanda Babcock alb@quandary.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
