Now, the start was OK, but when I tried to run the x-windows (startx), I got the following error:
There is no link /var/X11R6/bin/X to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_xxxx which is the binary of the installed X-server. Please link the files as mentioned above or install the X-server and run xf86config again. I'm aborting now.
you need to configure x with either XF86Setup or xf86config. you can add users through the "useradd" and "passwd" commands, or through user adminisrtation. both user administration and X setup are achieved through yast. just type "yast" and follow the appropriate paths.
Did that with XF86Setup, didn't work... then I tried Xf86config, and it typed the X link to my /var/X11R6/bin, but keep getting an err:
The file XF86_xxxx(binary of X-server) doesn't seem to be a binary file. Please check it or/and install a new X-server-binary. I'm aborting now.
Tried once and again, changed configurations, installed servers,... nothing as yet. Any idea anyone?
Thank you.

This has happened to me too. Cured it by simply typing: ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/X /var/X11R6/bin/XF86_P9000 Whoops -- typed in my own server without thinking! You may have to first erase X. In my experience neither running yast nor reinstalling the server helps. Of course you must have a usable XF86Config file. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: bob gordon <bob100@ibm.net> Date: 16-May-98 Time: 00:01:08 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
