Hi,
I have some problems here. First, it was difficult to install, and several
times the install hung on the alternatives file. But I finally did get the
install completed. Even so, when I run
startx
I get the message 'fatal error has occurred'.
The detail is
started with command line: /usr/bin/X :0 -auth /home/paul/.serveauth.780
ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens
winIntializeDefaultScreens - w 1024 h 600
winInitializeEDefaulScreen - returning
Fatal server error:
Can't read lock file /tmp/.X0-lock
The computer is a Lenovo netbook running windows XP SP3
Thanks fodfr any pointers, help, etc.
-best regards
