Subject: startx problem on 7200

Hi all, I am a newbie to Linux and YDL and am having trouble getting X to
run. I have two basic problems, one there is no 'startx' command on my
system...did I miss something when I installed?
Two...being a newbie I tried starting X on my own with /etc/X11/X and I get
a quick screen flicker then a bunch of output...the important bit (I
believe) being:
-- [stuff deleted] Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb' (**) FBDev: Using XF86Config video mode database (--) FBDev: Revmoving mode "640x480" from list of valid modes. (--) FBDev: Revmoving mode "800x600" from list of valid modes. (--) FBDev: Revmoving mode "1024x768 from list of valid modes.Fatal server error: No valid modes found. --
After doing a 'find' there is no rgb directory, or RGB_DB anywhere on the system. The XF86Config file has:
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
But that path doesn't actually exist.
I have reinstalled YDL a couple of times now, I have tried most of the things on the archive list that seemed relevant, i.e. checked that xfs is running on the same port that XConfig is pointed at (-1), tried the "No Video Driver" option, etc.
Is the main problem the missing files/directories???? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Mike
