Alright, I ran xf86config, and successully set everything up. I also followed the directions at the end and copied it to a place other than /etc I think I put it in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 or just /usr/X11R6/lib (whichever it suggested I did) However I still get the same error when trying startx: 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. Here's the output of ls -Al /usr/X11R6/bin/X* : lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 24 Dec 19 01:49 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -> /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 756928 Sep 28 08:21 /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86Setup -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 27499 Sep 28 08:17 /usr/X11R6/bin/Xmark -rws--x--x 1 root wheel 5090 Sep 28 08:21 /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper I see no XVGA server files...if that's what I'm looking for... How might I go about manually installing those? If that could be the problem and sysinstall can't seem to do it itself? Much thanks for your help so far Robert.
