xWindows, HELP....

2001-10-06 Thread Michael Grover 
Well, I Configured xwindows ans started it. 
The first time I ran it I just got a blue screen with  mouse pointer.
Now when I boot my machine, I get a xWindows login prompt.
I can't get to a bash prompt to fix my xWindows config.
If I try ctrl+alt+backspace it takes me back to a xWindows login prompt.
if I try ctrl+alt+del, it brings up a dialog box with,
Log Out, Shutdown, Reboot, Restar ICEwin (that might not be spelled
right)
, etc etc...

Any Ideas?

There's a short FAQ on GNU/Linux X display manager disabling you may
find useful, at:

Thank you.

XWindows Help

1998-10-04 Thread lanceh 
I am trying to setup XWIndows with one of the configuration programs.  
XF86Setup and
xf86config.  When I configure with XF86Setup everything works fine but when I 
type 'xstart'
I get an error message:

exec of /usr/vin/X11/XF86_NONE failed

How do I solve this?  I imagine XF86_NONE is a file I don't have (I checked to 
see if it was
there).  What do I need in this file or how can I create it?

As an aside, how can I determine how much drive space I have left on my 
harddrive?  In other
words, what command will tell me this?

Thanks

Lance

Edit /etc/X11/Xserver file and put the name of the driver you want to use
there instead of XF86_NONE (like XF86_SVGA ).

 harddrive?  In other

Good luck,
