Hello I am trying to configure Linux to run with a minimal set of
installed packages. I have installed a system that did not include any GUI
components and then I installed XFree86-4.3.0 afterwards. I can run xf86cfg which gives me a root screen with a
configuration window. When I click on the desktop a menu appears which I can use
to open a terminal etc. This dropdown menu identifies the window
manager as TWM. When I try to run startx from the
console the screen goes blank and the monitors power light starts to blink. I assume that this is happening because I do not have any GUI
components other than the X server and TWM installed. Would it be possible for someone to give me some explanation
of what the situation is. I only need to know whether
my assumptions are correct
and whether I have correctly installed the X server. Some pointers in the right
direction as to what my next steps should
be would be a bonus and would be greatly appreciated. Regards Henry Quinn |
