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.
SaX2 was the excellent tool openSUSE had before the magification of X. It had to be dropped in 11.3. Chuck gave you how to use its substitute about an hour ago.
Any hint would be welcome.
Any post like yours needs to include giving a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, which provides clues without which little help specific to your particular trouble can be given. Check the following and report back if you can't fix it on your own, including the VGA output from lspci, and the size and native resolution of your laptop's screen. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_troubleshooting http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:ATI_troubleshooting -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
