Saving and Booting Your XFree86 Settings

Quote (Red04Bull @ Jan. 25 2006,14:11)
hey starcannon

how did you get XFree86 to load after reboot in frugal install

Code Sample

>cd /etc/X11
>chmod ./XF86Config 777
>cd /ramdisk/home/dsl
>beaver ./.filetool.lst

once you have your XF86Config file just the way you like it, it is reccomended that you tighten up the permissions to 555 to keep accidents from happening.

add the following line

/etc/X11/XF86Config

save, and close beaver

Code Sample

>beaver ./.xserverrc

replace the line in this file with the following

exec /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86  -nolisten tcp

save, and close beaver

Be sure to run backup and if all went as I remember doing it you should be ready for a reboot

Now assuming I forgot nothing you should be able to make Xfree86 work each and every boot under frugal install, of course being sure you have a good configuration file.
I'll help as much as I can keep in mind i'm still a noob to though.
