cat: /tmp/89.tmnu : No such file or directory
Anyone know what this means? Different tries, give same result except
maybe 89 is 134 or something. I can't even get X running at all, and
I've tried a lot of things. Any help?

The card I selected was (41) SVGA, monitor VESA, I was not given any
options to select any screen modes just an error...
/tmp/69.msel No such file or directory (the 69 changes each time I
try)
Later on when I try to tune I get the same error as you.
When I try to run X with startx I get a few messages including the
error...
No Modes Supplied in XF86Config
If you find out how to solve this could you please mail me, I will
do the same.
BTW. Using Slackware 2.1 CD from the Que book "Using Linux"
Graphics Chipset WD90c31 and VESA compliant monitor max res
1024x768.

1. ConfigXF86 gives 'No such file or directory' errors
I just completed a fresh install of Slackware (linux 1.1.59) from
ftp.cps.cmich.edu. My video card is Genoa WindowsVGA 8500VL. My
monitor is an MGC XGA model 1506 (Nov 92), which is not one of the
supported monitors, so I'm using the VESA - Generic modes option.
Whenever I try to run ConfigXF86, it gets all the way to the part
where it's supposed to start the X server and let me test my video
modes. At that point the screen clears and it says: "./ConfigXF86:
/tmp/2498.tgs: No such file or directory"
Then the screen clears immediately again and it says:
"These are your available modes
cat: /tmp/1721.tmnu: no such file or directory
Enter the number of the resolution mode to fiddle with"
With no numbers/modes listed, the only thing I can do is Ctrl-C
interrupt. If I go ahead and save the bogus XF86Config file anyway
and startx, it either gives an error about every video mode
being invalid and dies, or else complains that the "rgb" path line or
the "fonts" path line is not a section head and dies.
I have XF86_{8514, mono, SVGA, VGA16, W32} servers installed, with the
"X" file currently linked to XF86_VGA16.
My /tmp directory has permissions drwxrwxrwx and there are other
ConfigXF86 files in it, so the permisisons should not be a problem.
I don't have the manuals for my video card or monitor, so I don't know
the frequencies necessary to construct my own video modes that startx
will accept.
I did get X to work on this c6omputer a year or more ago and didn't have
this problem them. But that installation (an SLS) has long since been erased.
If anyone has an MGC monitor that X works on, or has any other ideas,
please email me.
PS. My computer is a 486/66 VLB, 16MB RAM, 200 + 250 MB IDE HDs,
soundblaster, Aztech CDA 269 01A CD-Rom (I haven't even tried to
configure the CD yet -- that's for another day).
