Hi,
Dell Optiplex, PII 266, 64M ram, ATI Rage Pro 4 meg video.
Trying to install X on it. Kept getting "out of range"
monitor errors using various settings through Xconfigurator,
so thinking that it might be related to the Mach 64 server
problems with Xfree86, I decided to try Metro-X. The GUI
configX for Metro seemed ok--vidcard supported and all that--
but I can't get startx to work at all...
Here's what happens when I try:
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server "X" in PATH
Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin is in your path and
that "X" is a program or a link to the right type of server
for your display. Possible server names include:
XF86_SVGA SVGA color display on i386 PC
XF86_Mono monochrome display on i386 PC
XF86_VGA16 16 color VGA display on i386 PC
XF86_S3 S3 color display on i386 PC
XF86_S3V S3 ViRGE color display on i386 PC
XF86_8514 IBM 8514/A color display on i386 PC
XF86_Mach8 ATI Mach8 color display on i386 PC
XF86_Mach32 ATI Mach32 color display on i386 PC
XF86_Mach64 ATI Mach64 color display on i386 PC
XF86_P9000 Weitek P9000 color display on i386 PC
XF86_AGX IIT AGX color display on i386 PC
XF86_W32 Tseng ET4000/W32 color display on i386 PC
XF86_I128 #9 I128 color display on i386 PC
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
[root@localhost /root]#
(/usr/X11R6/bin is indeed in my path, but there seems to
be nothing in /usr/X11R6/bin/X...what should be? is it
just "exec /wherever/Xserver/is &" ?)
Here's what /var/log/Xerrors gives me:

thanks for any help you can offer on this. I tried the
SuSE Mach 64 rpm for Xfree and that didn't seem to help, although
I suspect there is a conflict between the server configs
somewhere but I am not sure where, or how...also this machine
doesn't have a net connection yet so I can't upgrade X versions
for now...
appreciate it!
