xwmconfig works fine and dandy hehe... its really weird.

Damn!

:D

So.... err.... (zsejk is all out of ideas) .... can you... err... go to the /etc/X11 directory and open the XF86Config file? If so, can you post it here? While you're at it, also please post your /var/log/ XFree86.0.log file.

Whats the command to open a file?

cat /path/to/filename

Stupid question... but did you install the XFree86 packages?

For future references... I installed EVEYRTHING on the CD

Yes. And to keep you from becoming dizzy from the scrolling speed, do:

"cat /path/to/filename | less".

P.S.: a thread from yesterday night about how to script a file using script and cat and the like (in case you can't both get the file and post it here.. you know, when you're using two separate systems or summin'): http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=85317

edit:

Ok... (keep getting beat to the posting here.... grr! ;) ): get that /var/log/blabla file and the /etc/X11/XF86Config file; when we have that we might be able to see what's going on

K my XF86Config File says


Section "Server Layout"

# The Identifier line must be present

identifier "Simple Layout"

Each screen line specifies a Screen section name, and optionally a relative position on other screens. The four names after primary screen name are the screens on top, bottom left and right on the primary scree., In this example screen 2 is located and the end of screen 1... BLAH BLAHB ALh then something aboutmy mouse.

now it says a crap load more stuff that i used the | less command but still nothing that looks config ish

Sorry.... I posted the wrong thread URL there. Go to that URL I give above (to be able to get the entire file from one system to the other) and get us the entire /var/log/XFree86.0.log file to start with. We'll get to the xf86config command and the /etc/X11/XF86Config file later.

I wish i had a video card error mine just says there is no startx command

/var/log/XFree86.0.log


no such file or directory.

I know... your error is more sucky.

;)

But still, go to my post about how to script a file and transfer it to your Windows system (or in your case maybe RH system) so you can post it here. We'll take the /var/log/XFree86.0.log first methinks.

Aarrrrrgh!

:D

Does that work?

If X is installed you will have startx and the necessary xf86config files. Do you even have the /etc/X11/ directory?

If not, then I put it to you again, make sure you have installed the X packages. Use pkgtool to verify.
