[opensuse] Re: How to set up X (solved)

Having installed Suse 11.4 on my new laptop, X does not start and startx does not work.

Is there any other way to invoke X? How can I set up the configuration file for X? I did that so often years ago, but I forgot the name of the program. Unfortunately Suse keeps that secret in the 11.4 manual.

Any hint would be welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks a lot for all your replies. Here is the way I solved the problem: 1. In Yast, I changed the runlevel to 3. 2. Then I rebooted the computer. 3. I logged in as root and typed: /etc/init.d/xdm start    This worked, and the graphical login image appeared. 4. Now, I logged in as a normal user. 5. In Yast, I restored the old runlevel 5. 6. Again I rebooted the computer.    Now, the graphical login image appeared immediately. I am actually lucky to have found this simple solution. I cannot explain it, but it works.
