I've tried everywhere and no one can help me with this problem: Hi i installed mandrake[7.1 -downloaded off the website on tuesday lastweek] without a network card and it worked fine. Xwindows and all. Then i installed a 3com network card into my computer and reinstalled mandrake. and i got this error when i typed 'startx' -------------------------------------------------------------- Bug in dynamic Linker id.so: dynamic_link.h:57: elf_get_dynamic_info: assertion'! "bad dynamic tag" failed! _X11TransSocketUnixCnnect: Can't connect: errno=111 Giving up xinit: connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to x server xinit: no such process (errno3): server error. -------------------------------------------------------------- ok so i took out the 3com and reinstalled mandrake with no network card and everything worked fine. then i found a realtek8029 card and installed it in my computer and re-installed mandrake. mandrake found the card straight away and installed it. but the same problem with Xwindows. however the network card works fine in the shell. i reinstalled mandrake with a 'server' install option it worked fine except it didn't load the normal xwindows kde/grome..or maybe it did but it was a wierd version and only showed a blank desktop with a terminal. in a separate window. i am a newbie to linux and this is my first install of a distro. please don't tell me to get a new distro as i downloaded this and it took forever and i had to get lend of a cd burner...etc.. thanks in advance for any help offered. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
