OK, I can't figure out how to start X in Fedora Core 3. I've got xfce installed. I tried "startx", "X", "xinit". None are found. I tried Alt-F7 but get a blank screen. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Is xorg-x11 installed? Maybe the X server is not present. I'm thinking that you have a window manager and no server. This is probably not the case, but worth a guess.

I've installed the following packages:

   xorg-x11-font-utils-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
   xorg-x11-libs-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
   xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
   xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
   xorg-x11-twm-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
   xorg-x11-xauth-6.81-12.i386.rpm
   xorg-x11-xfs-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm

Are there any others that might help? Only "libs" sounds like it is critical.

Thanks,

I have the below packages installed that relate to xorg-x11. Usually the updating programs (yum, up2date or apt) pull in any programs needed, because of dependacies for other programs.


If I recall some installation programs, it is possible to only install the windowmanager and not the X server. You do need either XFree86 or xorg-x11. The lack of deps might be because you could choose whatever X server version that you choose.

My listing for xorg-x11 is probably a bit more up2date. I just upgraded the xorg-x11 recently, while reading the mail.
