Re: cannot start X windows
That will once again prompt you for your video information.
This time answer the questions correctly, make sure the DISPLAY variable is properly set and if the setup is supported, all will be well.

Re: cannot start X windows
>Log as root
>First you must be in runlevel 3
>(edit the /etc/inittab, change the 5 to 3 and reboot)
>run 'XFree86 -configure'
the screen will go black for a little while.
that will generate a file 'XF86Config.new'
(assuming you're logged in as root)
to test, type 'XFree86 - xf86configure /root/XF86Config.new'
>rename the file '/etc/X11/XF86Config'
>Copy the '/root/XF86Config.new' file to be your new '/etc/X11/XF86Config'
file
>type 'startx' to test.
if you have any problems like the mouse not working, you can copy the old
settings from your old XF86Config into the new one.
rgds,
Bong

Re: cannot start X windows
After configuring the video card, issue the command startx.
