Startx Problems

torman89 · 11-25-2003, 10:57 PM

I am running Mandrake Linux 9.2 on my P2 233mhz machine with 64mb RAM. Linux boots up fine and it comes to the login screen. When I logged in as root and typed startx, it gave me the following error:
execve failed for /etc/X11/X (errno 13)

I have no idea what to do, I just installed Mandrake, and I know almost nothing about it.
Should I just re-install?
