I have installed Linux 6.1 on my system. The video card is configured but the Xserver does not work with startx command.
 
Hi pretty priti,
What does ur "startx" say ?
If ur shell says "startx: command not found" then
PATH is not correct.
Does ur X-Server Crash ?

Do not rejoice that ur code works.
it might be a special case of an error :-(
 
hi priti,

do you have .xinitrc, with specific Xserver specified in it ?
btw, my Xserver crashes after 5 minutes of start. any clue on this ????

Hi Priti

Just check the file /etc/X11/XF86Config file. check the tag driver under which have to mentioned the correct driver name.
If u have allready mentioned the correct driver name. may be that linux does not support that hardware.
To check the hardware support list for linux check the website redhat.com

Hi prithi

U r having problem regarding the display card. U also check it weather it is properly mentioned in XF86Cconfig file or not.
One problem may be there . but for still u do that
