Ok! I finally figured all this stuff up! This is my method on putting full X on a hard drive install.
Once DSL is installed and logged in as root:
1) dpkg-restore
2) apt-get update
3) apt-get install x-window-system, then setup XF86Config-4 any way you please
4) edit /etc/init.d/xdm and put exit 0 on the first line
5) edit $HOME/.xserverrc and modify the exec command to:
exec /usr/bin/X11/X -auth $HOME/.Xauthority
and do the same for any other logins (like dsl)
/home/dsl/.xserverrc
6) remove startx
rm /usr/bin/X11/startx
and what I did, was replace it with my linux server's startx (slackware 10), so just google around for one and place it in! 
7) optional: If you have some privelage problems with some /tmp X file, delete the file/dir, then type:
chmod 1777 /tmp
chown root.root /tmp
And I hope this works for people like me who had a nightmare putting full X in DSL! |
 Oh that's embarassing... all it needed was a reboot. So used to Linux not needing boots....
(never mind....)
Hi,
got XFree86 working with MistaEd's instructions (Thanks! Worked!). I had to fix the permissions on /tmp and delete the invisible X directory under /tmp/; also had to edit the session.menufile line in my ~/.fluxbox/init to read ~/.fluxbox/menu in order to get my fluxbox menus back.
Now I would like to get my 'full enhanced desktop' back - looks like the menu items runs 'enhance &>/dev/null'. I have no idea what the 'enhance' command actually does.... any assistance?
Thanks,
Les
