Hi everyone.
I've just subscribed to this list for some post-installation troubleshooting
for Xfree86 (as per the error output)
Here's the prob.
Running (as root) XF86config, the config script goes through and asks me the
relevant questions, and writes the new XF86Config file. I start x with
"startx" and I get a screen with a bash shell in it. (I used apt-get to
install the xfree86 packages. My install is Redhat 7.3 and was bare bones
text based prior to my XF experiences today.
When I run XFree the Next time, it bombs out with this error
snip____________________________________________________________
Parse error on line 207 of section InputDevice in file /etc/X11/XF86Config
"Device" is not a valid keyword in this section.
(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile()
Fatal server error:
no screens found
un-snip____________________________________________________________
The only way to successfully run XF is only after I go through the
XF86config before start.
Painfull indeed.
Any clues?????
Thanks
Andy
