thank you all ! Now I have my Debian X back, which doesn't work as well. after XF86Setup, and chose the right graphic chipset. I got a congratulation screen saying I have got a running X-server. But when I startx, I receive the following msg:
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 . . (six of them...) giving up xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): Server error I did a "find . -name xinit -print". there is really no xinit file. only directories. does this matter? it apparently did try to start the X server. Sorry for overwhelming this list with such trivial questions! I am just new to Linux. regards Ben "Mesman, Ben" wrote: > > Now I want to back-up to my debian-X already downloaded > > packages.
