RE: Xorg -configure results a black screen
Hi again, I am able to start Xorg, but kde does not start. It seems it still has problems with my display. The most important failure messages that showed up when trying to start kde are : Xsetroot: unable to open display '' Xset: unable to open display '' Ksplash: cannot connect to X Server Kdeinit : Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set. I also copied my modified xorg.conf.new with HorizSync and VertRefresh settings from the /root/ to the folder /etc/X11/ but it seems it cannot find the file ??! What else can I do to get KDE running. BTW : When I run startx first and then fire up startkde from the konsole in X , then KDE starts... I am new to Unix at all. I have no clue to search for a hint :-) Someone able to help me get KDE running from the Shell ??

Do you mean that you don't see any text on the console telling how to test it? Or do you mean that, when you try to test it, you get a blank screen when X starts up? By blank screen, do you mean black? Or does it have a pattern? When I try to start X it is telling me a failure message: Can't open display . How are you tryint to start X? When you run Xorg -configure, an xorg.conf.new file is created in /root/. To run that you need to follow the instructions printed out on the screen to use the conf file you just created. Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new If you want X to start using startx or xdm or some other window manager, you first have to copy the newly-created xorg.conf.new file to /etc/xorg.conf.
