- Since this is a FAQ, let me post a sort suggestion:
-
- First, redirect the error messages to a file:
- xinit >& xinit.out
- because otherwise those messages which are printed while the console
- is in graphics mode are lost. You get more information this way.
-
- Then check the output and then check your Xconfig. See
- /usr/X386/lib/X11/etc/README.386bsd, the X386 man page and
- /usr/X386/lib/X11/Xconfig.sample for a description of the Xconfig.
