Thanks for the help. Indeed it's compiling without errors now.
Trying to run XF86Setup doesn't work though. When trying to swith to graphics mode I get the following error:
"_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111"
and after some attempts it gives up saying:
"Unable to communicate with X server!"
Any ide what's going wrong now?

More likely there are some problems with permissions. The permissions to the X server Unix sockets are
a tricky issue, too little - and you can't connect,
too much - and you have a security issue.
I'm running everything as root. So permissions shouldn't be a problem at this point, right?

Of course, another stupid question is: Is an X server
running on this machine at all?

Well, I expected XF86Setup to do that for me. I just ran 'make World' and 'make install'. Now I wanted to run XF86Setup for it to configure my X server before starting it??? I also tried xf86config which runs through flawlessly but when trying to 'startx' gives me a blank screen and it then hangs... Sorry for my unqualified information but I'm quite new to XFree86. If there's any further information I can provide I'd be happy to do so. I'm quite desparate of getting this XFree86 3.3.6 up running....

BTW. I don't really know about the meaning of this but there's *_no_* entry like the following when running 'netstat -an':
unix   2   [ACC]   STREAM    LISTENING    427    /tmp/.X11-unix/X0
Should there be one like this (I've read so somewhere else...)?

Thanks a lot.
Stefan
