I try to do a default install of Minix3 in Virtualbox 4.3.x.
After the first step of teh default installation (which installs Minix3 form the iso file) I try to run the command "Xorg -configure" as root according to section 5.5.1. of the installation manual.
When I do this, I get the message "Xorg"not found".
How can I install X windows on my Minix3 in Virtualbox 4.3.x?

Hi,

I suppose you're about to try it on 3.3.0. As stated in the release notes (http://wiki.minix3.org/Releases/3.3.0?action=show&redirect=Releases%2FCurrent):

"X11 is not available currently. Our old version, which was still based off of a monolithic XFree86 Server, broke. We are in the process of importing a current release of Xorg. New X11 packages will be provided as soon as the port will be completed."

Sad but true:( Need to wait...

Regards,
r0ller

Thanks for the information.
I will wait for new X11 packages.

Maybe you can try under Minix 3.2.1 because X works there.
