Re: can not start 'startx' from the prompt and missing files


Andy,

Thank you for replying.

The .xinitrc file in my home directory is copied from another directory (I don't remember) that was created by the automatic installation. The installation guide stated that the file should be copied to the home directory and edited as necessary. My question is that... the variables defined in the file directs to a file which doesn't exist. The entire subdirectory /usr/X11R6/X11/xinit doesn't exist. I was wondering if that is caused by a faulty installation.

Kiwhan
