Salut Patrick, in french: merde! (Cambronne, si je me rappeles bien ;-) this seems like a problem in your hardware configuration, what kind of video card do you have, also you're running linux on a pc desktop or a laptop? Maybe there're conflicts in IRQ assignement or base addressing, also your video card is listed properly in the supported card list database? this is a new fresh installation on a new pc or you did an upgrade to RH 5 from a working RH 4.x with X OK ? i'm just a little confused that nothing works... (the vga16 at least, it uses such basic features that all cards support nowadays) also i beg your pardon for the wrong thinking of Xconfigurator... i never used it, so i was convinced that it wasn't X-based (extrapolation fails so often...). also have you checked to start X with something like: $ X -probeonly > /tmp/xoutput 2>&1 (this will put in the file /tmp/xoutput the check that X should do on your setup and video card), also the SuperProbe command could be useful to probe if your hardware is well recognized (see man SuperProbe); try these first, then, if nothing happens, check the video card irq for conflict problems, also report to the list the output of these commands (e.g. i don't have any experience with laptops, maybe someone else could help you). finally, chek also the suse site (www.suse.com) if your video card is a newest one, the people at suse distribution are funding the xfree86 project and making drivers for new hardware, perhaps you could find some info on your. not to say, check also the main site: www.xfree86.org . a bientot ciao fede p.s. federico, pas frédéric - sigh - j'ai eu du mal a l'expliquer dans mes experiences françaises... :-) > > Hello frederico, > > I did every things that you suggested me, by using both XFree86-3.3.1-14 and > XFree-3.3.2-5 and I get the same result, it does not work. > I cannot start the Xserver (see the error message in one of my previous > email _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno=111). > I do not think that there is a problem with > the XF86Config file.
