T0ken Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 After installing Mandriva, I'm unable to get into the desktop environment. After booting, it took me to the black login screen (not the kde login screen). Here, when I run "startx," it gives the following: (EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) No devices detected. Fatal server error: no screens found . . . xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. Any ideas?

K Bergen Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 A shot in the dark, your video card driver may not have installed properly. Try running XFdrake as root to configure the video card. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Yeah I forgot to mention I've tried that as well as drakx11, and it tells me it's an unknown command ??? I probably didn't select some needed packages or something...

Thanks for that insight! And yes, these were done as root. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 ..and it tells me it's an unknown command ???The command is 'case-sensitive' type XFdrake as root. If you get the same response, just reinstall and pay closer attention to the choices offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
