X unable to start
All members
I 'm installing RH 9 on a server machine having Cirrus Logic 16 MB AGP. I run whole installation in CUI mode bacause it can't start X & also on first time booting it's unable to load. it shows that it detects cirrus logic AGP but in starting X it fails.
Now what are the steps to start the X on this machine.
thanx in advance

Re: X unable to start
Try redhat-config-XFree86 -reconfig
And, if it blocks :
Xfree86 -configure
And of course, posting erros would help.

Re: X unable to start
The xfree utility should get it right if you re-run as instructed in Jerome's post.
Perhaps you inadvertantly overrode the detection in the original installation.

Re: X unable to start
Check your X log files "in /var/log/XFree86*.log".
Either attach a copy of it, or show us the last 50-100 lines or so. The lines starting with either (EE) or (WW) are your key-witnesses in the failures.
Hopefully it'll be something simple that you can fix yourself, otherwise, drop us some details ;)

Re: X unable to start
The most common cause of the X interface not coming up is the DISPLAY variable not being set.
Check /etc/profile or .profile for the user or merely echo $DISPLAY at the command line prior to starting X.
Make corrections based on your findings.
