Just for grins, delete the .xinitrc file in the /root directory. You can't see it, but it's probably there. Then run xconf and startx and see if it's all good.

I just installed BT2 for the first time, after logging in i noticed the screen resolution was totally unreadable during shutdown, so the next time i logged in I used the xconf command, when I next used the startx command and also tried the flux command, it gave me this error:
fatal server error:
caught signal 11. server aborting
/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit: connection to X server lost
Hangup
GOT SIGHUP
bt ~ # xset: unable to open display ":0"
kded: ERROR: Communication problem with kded, it probably crashed.
If you have any guidance or advice I would greatly appricate it thank you for all your time.

i have the same problem but how have i to delete the .xinitrc file in the /root directory? i have first to go to the /root directory with the cd command righy? but how exactly do i have to do this and with which command can i delete the .xinitrc file in the /root directory?
bt~#cd /root
bt~#ls -a
bt~#rm .xinitrc
Be careful RMing as root![]()
thx for the replay i'm going to try it.
i have tried it and i get the following massage: rm: cannot remove ".xinitrc" : no such file or directory
so what else can be the problem or did i still do something wrong?
