Hi, When I start up the xdm, kdm is apparently started (gentoo indicates [OK] in green), however I can't access my desktop in Xming as I used to be able to. .vnc/clinuxBox:1.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log both contain the following error: Fatal server error: xf86EnableIOPorts: Failed to set IOPL for I/O The wiki advises using xorg.conf derived from a Knoppix boot CD (I've used Ubuntu) and for a while this seems to have worked. Not sure why, my understanding was that colinux was unable to access any hardware at all. -- Dave Coventry Tel: +27(0)31 7644107 Fax: +27(0)31 7644107 Cell: +27(0)82 3685983 |

Check your Xservers file and comment out any start of local X-servers. Check that you edit the right file, for unkown reasons all systems here have several Xservers files. |

Did you solve your problem? If there is no entry in the Xserver file check in the kdm.log if kdm is starting the Server or something else. |

Holger, I've tried everything. I've even increased the memory used from 64 to 128. The kdm.log merely contains the same error message, namely: Fatal server error: xf86EnableIOPorts: Failed to set IOPL for I/O The log file in the .vnc directory has the same error message. I have removed the Xservers file, same result. Whenever I restart xdm, it first shuts down kdm, which gives a green [OK] (I'm using gentoo), so that indicates that kdm has started without error.

Don't reinstall, it can't start if it is not there. You don't need it anyway. >> do >> find / -name Xservers > Locates only one Xservers file and that is in /root/ where I moved it (from /etc/X11/xdm). locate doesn't search every dir if updatedb isn't run as root. |
