Hello all, I am a final year graduate student and I am trying to configure X server.In that when I tried to run X server after all the configuration done with following commands: 1) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop 2) sudo startx -- /opt/mpx/bin/Xorg verbose :0 (P.S. I installed all the packages with prefix /opt/mpx ) then X server didn't run initialy and I got the following log: This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation. It is not supported in any way. Bugs may be filed in the bugzilla at <a href="http://bugs.freedesktop.org/" target="_blank">http://bugs.freedesktop.org/</a>. Select the "xorg" product for bugs you find in this release. Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions please check the latest version in the X.Org Foundation git repository.

Please also check the log file at "/opt/mpx/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. For above error I configured xkeyboard-config package with prefix /opt/mpx/ and again tried to run X server with above sequence of commands.But still error was there. So checked for "xkbcomp" in /opt/mpx then found it here: /opt/mpx/share/X11/xkb And then I created soft link from directory /opt/mpx/bin to /opt/mpx/share/X11/xkb/xkbcomp and then tried to run the Xserver with .xinitrc containing following command: exec xterm And at this time the terminal was flashed but it was not recognising any input from my keyboard.. I checked log also in this case then found following log.. .... ....
