Very Computer

Thank You in advance for all of your help in the matter that i am about
to present.

OK, here is whats going on and where i am at:

SYSTEM: IBM  PC P133 84 meg ram
Dell Monitor
SuperProbe says:
        First video: Super-VGA
        Chipset S3 Trio64 (Port Probed)
        RAMDAC: Generic 8-bit pseudo-color DAC
                            (with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit
modo))

I started off doing a low level format to remove the NT OS that i did
have
running on the machine. At that point i was only running DOS from a
floppy.
i went through the entire installation process everything seemed to go
just
fine. Did not run into any problems that i know of.

During installation, i was even able to do the Metro-X setup screen.

Post Installation:
I am able to get into configX to go to the Metro-X setup screen,
however, whenever I try to "startx" this is the error message that i
receive verbatim:

xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server "X" in PATH

Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin is in your path and
that "X" is a program or a linkto the right type of server
for your display. Possible server names include:

XF86_SVGA       SVGA color display on i386 PC
XF86_Mono        Monochrome color display on i386 PC
XF86_VGA16     16 color VGA display on i386 PC
XF86_S3             S3 color display on i386 PC
XF86_S3V          S3 ViRGE color display on i386 PC
XF86_8514         IBM 8514/A color display on i386 PC
XF86_Mach8      ATI Mach8 color display on i386 PC
XF86_Mach32    ATI Mach32 color display on i386 PC
XF86_Mach64    ATI Mach64 color display on i386 PC
XF86_P9000      Weitek P9000 color display on i386 PC
XF86_AGX        IIT AGX color display on i386 PC
XF86_W32         Tseng ET4000/W32 color display on i386 PC
XF86_I128         #9 I128 color display on i386 PC

_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to the X server

xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error

And thats it...... that is the error message i get when i type in
"startx"

It is saying here, as I see it, that the directory may not be in your path
or X may not be linked to the server you need.

I think "echo $PATH" will show you if that directory is in your path.  I
believe that in that directory there should be a file named X.  That file is
a link to the server you are supposed to be using.  I guess that would be
S3.  With RedHat 5.2 there was a list of chips given and one chooses the one
that one has which in essence chooses the correct server.  So I guess you
did this during Installation, right?  And on my installation there was also
the choice to choose the link to be made.  Did that occur?  Well, you can do
ls -l X while in the directory and it should show a link to the proper
server.

It sounds like there is no XF86 server installed for your card. I am not
sure about Metro-X but you could try running XF86Setup and see if you
can select and install a server from it.
