How to fix "X" config on a new Mandriva 2006 installation?
I just did this new installation and it boots up to the command line
okay, but GUI does not work. When I tried 'startx' from the command
line, I got these messages:
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serveauth.4063
execv3 failed for /etc/X11/X (errno2)
xinit: Server error.
# uname -a ... gives this result:
Linux localhost
2.6.12-12mdk #1 Fri Sep 9 18:15:22 CEST 2005 i686 AMD
Athlon(TM) XP 2600+ unknown GNU/Linux
I ran XFdrake and saw this:
Graphic card: S3 86C375 (ViRGE/DX)
Monitor: Flat panel 1280x1024
Resolution: 1152x864 16bpp
Test (ran this test and the display looked fine)
A search for installed "X" configuration files produced this list:
libxorg-x11-6.9-1.cvs20050915.2mdk
libxorg-x11-devel-6.9-1.cvs20050915.2mdk

The boot directory contains the following:

The exact same installation worked fine on my previous Mandriva
installation (that apparently has a damaged hard disk).
