Startx problems
I started Backtrack 3 with no problems. After i logged in as root, just for fun i typed xconf, and then startx.
I normally don't do that. And i could normally do the startx with no problems.
When i typed startx it gave me an error:

Sorry for my bad english
use fixvesa command.
Thank you so much
I've got the same problem, but when I type in 'fixvesa' then startx, my monitor shows a message saying input not supported. Any solutions?

Xorg is setting up the display with the wrong monitor settings. Google xorg.conf with your monitor's name.Originally Posted by tony123
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Slackbook contains some excellent information about the xserver and configuring it. Also I did a small tutorial about getting an external monitor setup using #xorgconfig a while back. The problem you are most likely having is just what Barry said. If you don't have your monitor doc then you can google it.
