Hi Branden Robinson,
I have just installed xserver-xfree86 4.0.2 on my debian/linux
system, but now X cannot start at boot. I get no error messages, so
i am not able to figure out what is going wrong.
Here is my current setup:
ii libxaw7 4.0.2-1 X Athena widget set library
ii xbase-clients 4.0.2-1 miscellaneous X clients
ii xdm 4.0.2-1 X display manager
ii xfree86-common 4.0.2-1 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure
ii xfs 4.0.2-1 X font server
ii xlib6g 4.0.2-1 pseudopackage providing X libraries
ii xlibs 4.0.2-1 X Window System client libraries
ii xserver-common 4.0.2-1 files and utilities common to all X servers
ii xserver-xfree8 4.0.2-1 the XFree86 X server
ii xutils 4.0.2-1 XFree86 utility programs
Configuration file, /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, should be correct,
since no errors (warnings only) are printed out when launching
XFree86
from terminal
As i enter startx command, as root, i get:
%% startx
waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .
..
..
..
until CTRL-C:
.^Vxinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unexpected signal 2
%%
What could be wrong in my setup?
Where to look for further info from my system?
I noticed the XFree86 has been compiled with Linux 2.2.18
while i am using 2.2.17. Could that be an issue?
I am writing directly to you because i am not subscribed to
any debian mailing list and, at present, i could not cope with
too much mail traffic
thank you
Paolo Pumilia
