XWindows Help

[UNIX Guru Dude]

}
}Hello Guys,
}	I purchased a package of Linux since November,1995 but now I 
}still can not using XWindows. I tried so many times to setup it but never 
}successful. I read both HOWTO and Linux manual and also usenet but I can 
}not solve this problem. My problem is that when I type "startx" to 
}startup the XWindows but there is an error message like below. This is my 
}PC specification
}

I believe you need to concentrate on the above error messages.  /usr/X11/bin/X
should be linked to one of the servers listed above, ie. XF86_SVGA, XF86_Mono.
If you are using Slackware, when you installed X, it should have prompted you
for various X servers.  You may need to reinstall to get the servers.  Look
in /usr/X11R6/bin for the servers named above.

}	I know that it is related to the X server but I do not know how 
}to configure it. I tried to use XF86Config but there are some choices 
}that I do not understant and do not know how to answer such as my monitor 
}model which is 7CM5299 Philips. This model is not in the HOWTO or Linux 
}manual so I do not sure about monitor model. There are the other mistake 
}that I do not sure when I use XF86Config. 
}	If anyone can solve this problem or have the same problem like me 
}please mail to me.
}						Thank You
