Set up X
In this chapter we will set up X, if it does not work
properly already.
To set up X, check that you have installed the following packages:
Note that these package names are for rpm-based systems. For
Debian, do an
apt-get install xserver-xfree86 xfonts-100dpi xfonts-base xbase-clients xdm
to get the most important files.
Download my XF86Config-4.3, and copy it to /etc/X11/XF86Config. You
can now start X with the command startx. On Debian you may
start a graphical login screen with
/etc/init.d/xdm start
On YellowDog, SuSE and Mandrake, just hop to runlevel 5, and
it will start a display manager for you.
/sbin/init 5
