hi! I just bought the new INfomagic CDs with the 2.0 kernel. I got the installation done fine. BUt ran into problems setting up XF86. I ran through the configuration steps smoothly, except for one glitch. When I did a SuperProbe at the start, It said that it couldnt find /dev/console . I already knew all the info about my monitor and video card and so just ignored this and went on to xf86config. I went through all the steps and when I do startx, it wont start because it cant find /dev/console. The error messages are listed below. For completeness sake, I have a NEC MultiSync 3V monitor and a Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM card with 1 MB video memory. ************************* Error Messages ******************************** Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole : cannot open /dev/console (No such file or directory) TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () cant connect : errno = 111 giving up xinit : Connection refused (errno 111) : Unable to connect to X server xinit : No such process (errno 3) : server error ********************* END ERROR MESSAGES ******************************** thanks for any help ajs -- ************************************************************************ | Srinivasan Arunajatesan | ajs@osprey.ae.gatech.edu | | Graduate Research Assistant, | P.O.
