First of all, check your PATH with printenv PATH
If you don't have /usr/X11R6/bin in it, then there may be something wrong with your fink environment setup, because /usr/X11R6/bin normally gets added to your PATH by the fink init script (/sw/bin/init.csh). Did you add source /sw/bin/init.csh to your .cshrc? Second, to start X in a terminal, you'll want to use startx -- -rootless (rootless mode) or startx -- -fullscreen (fullscreen mode) or startx -- -quartz (uses whatever is set in the Preferences) On Wed, 2003-02-05 at 13:07, Julian F.Woods wrote: > I downloaded and installed XFree86 using dselect yesterday.
