[coLinux-users] X windows

[David B. <db...@so...>]

Hey all.

I=92ve got my colinux with gentoo working nicely. Been up and running =
for a
week now. So I thought I=92d venture onto getting some nice graphical =
apps
going. But I=92m having some trouble. My main source of info was from

http://www.colinux.org/wiki/index.php/XCoLinux

my setup is using X-win32.

My current attempt is done by ssh=92ing into it and setting putty to =
enable
X11 forwarding. I then open X-win32 and setup a XDMPC Query set to the
gentoo box=92s IP.

And of course I do the export DISPLAY=3Dwindowsbox with X-win32

It must =BD work because if I type xterm, xcalc, bitmap, any of those =
simple
Xclient apps it will popup and be usable thanks to X-win32.

Now what I=92m trying to do is what they have setup at my uni, they have =
an
older version of X-win32 and we can use that to connect to their =
servers,
and can use KDE and stuff like that.

So I type X or startx or xinit. But they all come up with the same =
thing:

(=3D=3D) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Mon Jul 19 00:46:03 =
2004

(EE) Unable to locate/open config file

(EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile()

Fatal server error:

no screens found

so I must be missing out just one small very simple step that I can=92t =
find
anywhere.

I made sure I did as much research and put down as much info as I could
rather than a =93its not working, make it work=94 post you usually see =
so
hopefully will encourage someone to reply ;)

Thanks
