Ok I did the following...
cd /etc/X11
ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XF68_FBDev X
Xautoconfig_wrapper.pl
4. Add, to /etc/X11/prefdm, these lines:
Quote:> $preferred $*
> sleep 2; kill `cat /tmp/.X0-lock`
Rebooted and got a couple of errors, and didn't boot to Xwindows. Logged in
and ran startx and got the same problem. Anyother ideas? Does anyone have
the 3400c and have the same problem?
