Hi,
I am new to Linux ( I can hear you groan
)
I have been trying to install Xine or Rplayer onto
my Redhat Enterprise WS Linux installation & was told I needed XFree86 which
I carefully downloaded the correct version from your website & I think
installed it correctly
I still cannot load either Xine or Rplayer as there
other dependencies they need but that is not my main concern at the
moment
When I boot Linux now, at the login screen when I
normally go straight into the KDE GUI, I have a window open that calls itself
Console log for localhost.localdomain
Even at the login screen I choose the session type
radio buttons & click KDE or GNOME all I go into is a new screen called
xterm
It does not work by typing startx as all I am told
is to remove /tmp/.X0-lock
If I do it still will not load the KDE
GUI
I now realise that XFree86 is a lot more than a
necessary library for Xine etc but I have bitten off a bit more than I can
chew
If it was in windows I could probably check the
config.sys or autoexec.bat files but in Linux I have no idea what to
do
I am sorry to bother you but if you can help I
would very much appreciate it
Kind regards,
Chris Turner
