[newbie] Another question

[John Mariotti, a.k.a Vercingitorix, a.k.a [ChaOz]-Enigma]

I must, yet again, beg for assistance, before I lose every hair on my head.
I just spent the last five hours trying to get X Window installed. Now,
during the installation, it says that it is working correctly and will run X
upon reboot. All well and good, however, when it reboots it enters Run Level
5 as it should I believe, however it then quickly changes to Run Level 3 for
no other reason than to annoy me, I'm quite sure. So I run Linuxconf and
ensure it is set to Runlevel 5 same thing happens upon reboot. So then I
assume that it must be configured wrong. And we all know what happens when
one assumes. Anyways, I type XF86Setup, figuring, moronically I might add,
that I might be able to fix this situation. And lo-and-behold I receive a
happy little message stating thus -

Warning SERVER specification missing in Card database entry Trident TGUI9660
(generic) (line 2513)
Warning SERVER specification missing in Card database entry Trident TGUI9680
(generic) (line 2519)
Warning SERVER specification missing in Card database entry Trident Cyber
9320 (generic) (line 2537)

So then I assume (Yes, I didn't realize my first mistake in assuming), that
I made an error upon installation. So I re-install from scratch. This time
however when installation commenced and packages where installing, everytime
a package with either mdk or xmms was involved, and didn't install the
corresponding packages. This, of course, upset me greatly, however I
diligently pushed ahead, thinking that since none of the packages that were
missed had anything to do with the X Server. Obviously I was wrong. So once
again I embarked upon a clean installation, greeted by a clean install,
receiving the above Warning's yet again. It was about this time, that I
recall, smashing my roommates head against the wall....speaking of which
havn't seen him in a while. And fearing any other poor soul being harmed, I
figured I'd ask you fine folks for a bit of help before I'm committed.

Thanks,
