to connect to X server. xinit: No such process (errno3): Server error. now, i know that X is in /usr/bin/X11 so if i copy it to /etc/X11/ my output is basically the first two lines of the above output, repeated infinitly. as i said, XF86Setup manages to start X in svga and everything seems okay, but if i start it manually (either as normal user or root) it doesn't work. thanks for your time! -amael
