Xorg will not start no matter what I do
I recently installed Etch RC1 in a P3 box. The smoke test succeeded up
to the point where Xorg was to be loaded -- it would not load. I ran
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg several times. Each the time process was
able to configure automatically the keyboard, mouse, video card and
monitor settings without my intervention.
I checked the log file and xorg.conf but could find nothing amiss. Can
anyone suggest what to do now?
Here is the xorg installation log file.
