The XF86Setup app used to be in the xserver-vga16 package, I believe, but now it is in the xf86setup package. Do an "apt-get install xf86setup", then run XF86Setup. That should get you going. ktb wrote: > XF86Setup is the program you want to run to set up 'X' which creates > XF86Config. Have y

Do you have: xfree a x-windows-manager xf86setup and many other things you'll probably want installed?? If you install x on a system where you don't have anything x on already, I would suggest you use dselect for it. Ron Rademaker On Mon, 22 May 2000, Jay

XF86Setup is the program you want to run to set up 'X' which creates XF86Config. Have you tried running XF86Setup as root? Do you have 'xbase' installed? Have you verified XF86Setup exists on your system? Just some things I would look for. hth, kent Jay Kelly wrote: > > Ok I have another dumb

Dumb X Windows Question

Ok I have another dumb question. If I want to install X Windows what do I do. I have already tried "apt-get install xserver-svga" and it installs, but when I try to run the XF86Config I get "command not found" and I get the same for XF86Setup. What did I forget to install?
