KDE Problems

[Dopey]

I just installed suse 6.4 on my machine.
After loggin in i tried to start kde. So i typed: startx..... and got the following message:
" there is no link /var/X11R6/bin/X to usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_xxxx "
So, what's the deal here, how do i link them and after that will kde work??I'm a newbie so keep away from the very technical terms in order for me to understand them,...please??
:eek:

Hello,

I am going to assume that you are using XFree86 3.3.6 for this.

The deal is, startx is looking for a server to start and the link X tells it which one...

There are a few ways to fix this..
1. Look in /usr/X11R6/bin/ for the proper server, make note of the name (XF86_something (mach64 if you have an ati rage video card)) and type:
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_xxxx /etc/X11/X
where xxxx is the server for your card

2. Type xf86setup (or something similar, can someone else help me out?) and go into a gui and make all your selections

3. Type xf86config and awnser all the questions posed

I would recommend option 3

Hope this helps.....

p.s. to all else, if I got something wrong please feel free to correct me (I'm just a newbie too!)

Whoops!

#1 should have said to type:
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_xxxx /var/X11R6/bin/X

Sorry!
