Ed,

Thank you for the response. Very interesting thing happened. I created the link as you stated and it looks like X began to execute and look through a huge list of possible video cards and drivers to work according to the data I provided in xf86config setup.----(the screen output was large and scrolled past way too fast for me to catch it all.)

The final error message output was as follows:

Could not find Config file!
- Tried:
/root/XF86Config
/etc/XF86Config
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.linux
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config

Fatal Server Error:
No Config File Found!

I am gonna to locate the Config file using the "find" command. I'm assuming the file name should be XF86Config, yes? If you have other suggestions, they would be received with many thanks.

Hope to hear from you,

Mike Flug

Okay. I went back and executed the following link command:

# ln -s /var/X11R6/bin/X /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA

I received message stating, "File Exists"


I think you got your link command reversed. Try

ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_svga /var/X11R6/bin/X

That is the way mine is linked.
