Re: X error



To quote Bob Nielsen <nielsen@oz.net>,
# I had a problem with woody several days ago where X would die
# immediately after starting, before the window manager took over.  In
# trying to fix it, I really messed up my X installation, so I decided
to
# downgrade to potato and did a fresh installation of 2.2r2.  I did this
# and everything was working fine (including X).
# 
# Since I had started with a somewhat minimal installation I just added
a
# lot of new packages and now X dies immediately after starting with no
# messages, which is the same behaviour I had before with woody.
# 
# System is a K6/2-350 with 128 MB, Cirrus 5430-based video card with
# 2048k videoram.  
# 
# Any ideas as to where I should be looking?

Lemme think.

/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
/etc/X11/XF86Config[-4]
and, if you're using GDM, /etc/X11/gdm/* (take a good look into the
scripts in subdirectories there).

Just a few thngs.
