Other Help Topics :: Photos on web pages are too dark



Yes, that's exactly what was supposed to happen. You only started X to test the new config, so it's just the correct resolution, moving the mouse, and the X pattern in the background.
OK, I went through all that mumbo-jumbo.  The steps are:
1.  Go into a root shell.
2.  Enter "XFree86 -configure".  The screen will blink a bit when it autoconfigures your hardware. The new config file is in your /root directory, called XF86config.new. Check it with your default editor and change if needed.
3.  Copy this file into /etc/X11.
4.  Rename this file as XF86Config .
5.  If necessary, remove all old XF86Config-starting files.
6.  Copy the file "xserverrc_for_XF86" from /home/dsl/XFree86_config_files to the /home/dsl directory.
7.  Rename this file ".xserverrc".
8.  Enter "startx" in the root shell.

But it still doesn't work.  When I enter "startx", I get the message:

xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  no program named "/root/.xinitrc" in PATH

Specify a program on the command line or make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin
is in your path.

Worse, sometimes things get so messed up that I have to reboot to get XVesa to work again.
Well, you need to get out of the root shell to startx, I forgot to mention. "exit" and you will be back as user dsl and can startx..
OK, I went through all that mumbo-jumbo again with the modification.  The steps are:
1.  Open an EmelFM window and a Beaver (editor) window.
2.  Open a root shell.
3.  Enter "XFree86 -configure".  The screen will blink a bit when it autoconfigures your hardware. The new config file is in your /root directory, called XF86config.new. Check it with your default editor and change if needed.
4.  Copy this file into /etc/X11.
5.  Rename this file as XF86Config .
6.  If necessary, remove all old XF86Config-starting files.
7.  Copy the file "xserverrc_for_XF86" from /home/dsl/XFree86_config_files to the /home/dsl directory.
8.  Rename this file ".xserverrc".
9.  Go to DSL menu -> Exit -> Exit to prompt
10.  Enter "startx".

But it still doesn't work.  The screen resets, but things don't work the way I'm used to, and I have to reboot to get Xvesa back.  To add insult to injury, the pictures are STILL too dark.

What now?  Why isn't XFree86.unc working like it's supposed to?  Would xorg72.uci be better?  How do I get that working?  Please give me the whole procedure.  I need ANSWERS, not cryptic hints.
Your screen darkness hasn't yet been adjusted with the xgamma tool. XFree or Xorg is required to use the tool. What do you mean with "things don't work the way I'm used to"?
I'm no psychic (yet at least), so please describe your problem a little better.

Since the tool doesn't seem included in XFree86.unc, you can get it here ->
