as i wrote, when i run XFree86 i get a black screen with a crossshaped black cursor. no more.
Then the server is working just fine. Your window manager is not coming up. Most likely due to your pty problem.
Mark.
i have no window manager installed yet. i was told a default XFree86 wm should come up, however.
and how do i fix my pty problem?
