YDL4.0 on iBook, X server fails to start.

Postby thefsfempire » 07 Dec 2004, 22:00

I just recently installed YDL 4.0 on my iBook G4. It wont start the X Server upon first boot. I get this following error:

Code: Select all
I cannot start the X Server(your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X Server output to diagnos the problem?


I say yes, and yes to the next one, asking if I want details. I says to restart GDM once I'm done configuration. How do I start the X Server from here?

*Note: during installation, I chose Millions of colors. I'll do a reinstall and choose 256 but does anyone know a way to get full colors?

Thanks.

There is another thread that has the answer which is to use an older config file. I used vi to edit the config file to match what was posted.
