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.
You go first with the hints. What desktop did you choose? What laptop hardware? Did you do a default install or tweak it out and do something unusual? Saying X isn't starting without providing more info is like saying "something funny happened, help me", and we're all left standing here with no clue what to tell you :-)
There should be no need to manually set up a configuration file for X on 99.99999999% of the openSUSE installs you do. If it's not working on install, something went wrong during the install, you've got some odd hardware, or the guy operating the keyboard was playing and broke something.

Also, what happens when you type startx Also, what you inittab default level set too? It should be 5 for XDM to start auto. Maybe you are set to 3. First try startx, if that doesn't work try what I had posted before. Pup -- (678) 636-9678 ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!
