(Yet) Another newbie qstn - X-server won't work!
Hi everyone,
I've just bought a sun ultra 60 and am a bit of a unix newbie, so bear with me here! I've just completed a fresh install of Solaris 9 and everything was going well until the machine rebooted. When the system is coming up, it prints the followinf message on-screen:
The X-server can not be started on display :0...
Which leaves me in console mode
Does anyone know why this might be happening? Or how I might go about starting the X-server?
FYO I'm using a GNR 17" TFT panel connected to the box using a 13W3 adaptor.
Thanks in advance for any help.
