startx problem

Hanwant Verma_1 — Wed, 26 Oct 2005 08:33:16 GMT

startx gives the following error whats the cause:

X server: Error in /etc/X11/X0screens (line 612)
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:

connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

Thanks

Do you have a device /dev/crt ?

# ll /dev/crt
crw-rw-rw- 1 bin bin 174 0x000000 Feb 22 2005 /dev/crt
