X and Fluxbox :: Problem with XFree86



Installing XFree86 causes no problems. Only if I reboot the system I get the following errors:

/home/dsl/.xserverrc: line1: usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86: no such file or directory
/home/dsl/.xserverrc: line1: exec usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86: cannot  execute: no such file or directory

When I install XFree86.dsl as explained in  the info-file, it is copied to /ramdisk/usr/X11R6.... During shut down a backup is performed and ramdisk erased.

Aren't those files backup'd as well? At my system obviously not. Does anyone know help?

Thanks in advance!

Applications are not backed up.  Backup/restore is mainly for personal data and configuration files.
Adding myDSL packages to a backup is nearly pointless, since DSL can automatically install them at boot.  If you don't know the process you should read the faq, the "Getting started with DSL" page that appears on every successful X session, and consider looking through the DSL wiki.

ok, seems plausible.

Xfree is now installed at Startup. But, unfortunately it does not start. Xvesa starts automaticaly as if Xfree86 was not there.
Why?
All necessary files are put in the correct folders (Xfreeconfig and Xfree itself) but the xserverrc does link to Xvesa.

Normaly (and I've experienced it, though) the .xserverrc is backup'd. So changes i made are restored during booting and after the installation of myDSL- extensions.
So the /usr/X11R6/XFree86 should already exist...

Why does the xserverrc link to the "wrong" X-Server?

This is an extension. This is being moved to the appropriate area.
It should be discussed in the extension area of the board.
When in doubt, look at the section of the repositiory
from which it was downloaded. In this case System.
