Hey,
Maybe Scott ran into this...?
After installing my new slack (in which I'd stupidly installed
everything, though hoping for a minimal X), there was no X config
during install. But I tried running startx as meph & got:
/home/meph/startx: line 111: xauth: command not found
/home/meph/startx: line 112: xauth: command not found
/home/meph/startx: line 111: xauth: command not found
/home/meph/startx: line 112: xauth: command not found
/home/meph/startx: line 150: xinit: command not found
/home/meph/startx: line 1: xauth: command not found
I thought this odd, but then tried startx as root. It worked.
In the meantime, figuring that I just had to reconfig xorg, I
first tried xorgsetup. Still got the same. Tried xorgconfig,
got the same.
This morning, I tried opening X in root again, but instead of X
opening, I got the error above. I tried the two config commands
above, they went fine, but each still give me the error. I even
tried xorgcfg to no avail.
I don't see anything on the Web about this. Any ideas? The
only things I could find to change in the xorg.config file
(which, like the config executables, are suspiciously like XF86),
were the mouse lines: I had to change one line from "auto" to
"IMPS/2", "/dev/mouse" to "/dev/psaux" & to add the "ZAxisMapping
4 5" line, as these made the mouse work properly the time I was
able to open X.
