Usually it is one of configuration and running Xautoconfig.4 will get you
out of your problem. You must be 'root' ... and I think I have that name
right Xautoconfig.4. Just check that it is on your hard disk ... use mc
(midnight commander) to find the executable file.
Shane, I am assuming you can log into your linux as a text user ... with a
command line interface. Is this so? That usually works ... and I default
to that UNTIL I am satisfied that X works for me. Defaulting to X leads to
much frustration!
More details about your machine please...
You need at least 64 Meg of RAM to run a linux. What sort of
monitor/display are you using?

Thanks for responding to my inquiry. I have sense order the Geeting started
with YDL book from Terrasoft. Hopefully this will prove to useful.
I am running only 48 Megabites of Ram. This may be the problem, however it
look to be running smooth so far. I will be picking up some shortly (just
ordered 256 for OWC. I have virtual memory turned on, but doubt its on with
YDL running.
As for Hard Drive space, I have a 1 gig, hosting my OS9.1 installation and a
2Gig holding the YDL particians. (Boot 10mb, Swap 256, General 1744mb)
I do and can log-in through the text interface, however it does try to
default to xFree86 and fails. I can't seem to access the root director for
some reason either.
The monitor I have is a OLD VGA Shamrock 14in.
