solved: xorg problem
I've installed xorg, made a configuration file(using hwd) and then changed it a little, but when I type:
startx
the window system doesn't start.
The last lines in the log file are:
(II)PS/2 Mouse: Ps2EnableDataReporting Succeeded
Free Font Path: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled' ref count is 2, should be 1; fixing
There are some errors with the font directories in the log file, i don't know if it is normal.
can you tell me could be the problem?

Re: solved: xorg problem
Those are not fatal errors. Could you post some more of the logfile, in particular lines with (EE) in front of them?

the problem, that i noticed is:
there are no fonts.dir in the font folders and this gives many warnings.
The only EE was that the glx module is missing. I commented the line that includes it. Is it important?
The Graphical mode of the card is imitialized for a moment (maybe when it tests available modes) when i type startx, but then it returns to text mode and stops.

Re: solved: xorg problem
What video card / driver are you using?
I'm with integrated sis630 VC (acer motherboard). (16mb memory)
I tried using VESA and VGA drivers.
EDIT: if the problem is the VC driver, I could try:
Current x11-drivers xf86-video-sis 0.9.1-3 X.org SiS video driver 2006-09-19

Re: solved: xorg problem
Yes, it seems reasonable to try that one. I have no experience with those cards though.

Re: solved: xorg problem
install a window manager (enlightenment, fvwm etc...) or KDE and edit ~/.xinitrc Put "exec e16" for enlightenment or "exec startkde" for KDE in .xinitrc (not the speech marks) and save it . Then type startx and it ought to work
Do you ever get that "Oops" feeling?

Re: solved: xorg problem
It starts fine, but the configuration menus are empty(when i try to configure KDE itself ot Konquer for example i see an empty window "empty page" or something).
How to fix this?
Thank you all for the help and excuse me for the stupid questions 
Edit: I reinstalled KDE admin and it worked fine.
