X server: Error in /etc/X11/X0screens (line 614)

YAQUB_1 — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 06:26:07 GMT

Hi All,

When I have execute # startx or # /usr/bin/X11/X -ac :0 & command that time I have showing below output:

[1] 3892
# X server: Error in /etc/X11/X0screens (line 614)
Device name invalid or missing after keyword "Screen".
X server: Will try default "/dev/crt"
Failure to open default device file `/dev/crt`.
Please either specify the proper device filename in
your /etc/X11/X0screens file or fix `/dev/crt`. This filename is either
non-existent or is not a character special file.

Fatal server error:

Could you please any one help me regarding this issue.

hi,

it sounds like you havent exported the display?

did you export it to your laptop, so that the x will come up on it

#export DISPLAY=laptop ip address:0.0

#startx

or what are you using as xwindows client on laptop?
