X and Fluxbox :: help on understanding the xfree86.dsl readme
hello, unfortunately I do not understand the readme very well:(
1) what about the .xserverrc? Do I have to open it with a text editor and add a new line ->exec /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -nolisten tcp<-
2) ****(copy included in /home/dsl/XFree86_config_files)****
Copy included WHAT???
What is XFree86_config_files.
Is this a directory or a text file?
Do I have to create it?
1) there should be an .xserverrc included with the package. You can just copy that into /home/dsl (recommend backing up the original, and make sure your new file is executable).
2) there should be a directory created in /home/dsl/ called "XFree86_config_files", which contains some preconfigured XF86Config-4 files (and i think also the .xserverrc mentioned above). Find one which looks like it would work with your video card and copy it into /etc/X11/ as "XF86Config-4". This is not the same filename as the config file used with Xvesa, so you don't need to back up anything for this.
alright,
NO RISK NO FUN
thanks for reply
Fortunately, my machine still works and now I know how to use nano.
The installation is really easy.
Thanks a lot for the .dsl package an help.
Where is the xserverrc thing?
