Hi I am hiaving trouble with x  i installed xserver 4.0.1 which it
didn't have.  i corrected a hard link from /etc/X11/X to go to
/usr/X11R6/bin/X.  then the error about execve not working on /etc/X11/X
went waay.  now i installed the x server and now i get Xinit saying that
there it cannot connect x server.  And i get Xinit saying there is no
process such as Xinit.

I have mandrake 7.2 Thanks

Do not link /etc/X11/X to another link /usr/X11R6/bin/X.

/etc/X11/X -> /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86

You now have to configure X by running in the root directory

# XFree86 -configure

Edit the resulting file for the proper mouse protocol and device, test it
according to the instructions which appeared on your monitor and after a
successful test, copy the config file to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.

There is no Xinit instruction on your box.  There is an xinit instruction
although the usual way of starting X is with the command startx.

 
 
 

1. Nicer [FIX] Re: Hi, am having trouble with cpio-2.4.2 on S.u.S.E. 6.0

Nicer (but functionally equivalent) patch to cpio-2.4.2:

The problem I reported earlier wasn't with gcc or libc, as has
been pointed out to me, but with an incorrect assumption in
copyout.c of cpio-2.4.2.  The below patch, with it's two added
type-casts, takes care of that mistaken assumption (that all
system types are integers):

Forget my earlier patch... this one is far more beautiful:
