I personally use 'make menuconfig' which uses the terminal and not X. My personal preference and avoids the X11 issue. I may not even have X available to me at the time I am doing this. Although you were able to solve the problem nicely. menconfig needs libncurses5-dev. apt-get install libncurses5-dev Also, as mentioned in a followup, you can copy a mostly working /boot/config-version file to your .config and then run 'make oldconfig' which will start you off with the previous configuration. Then you can tweak changes starting from that base. Bob
