Any other ideas? What is the exact error message you are getting? (upon which command?) Did you run xf86config before that? Is there a file /usr/X11R6/bin/X -> /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_<something> and does the latter exist? Did you rehash (after adding things to your path) in case you are using csh/tcsh as your login shell? > > > Eric Kylstra > erick@accessone.com > > --Chris Christoph P. U.
