Pumilia, Wed Jan 03, at 22:48: .Hi Branden Robinson, .I have just installed xserver-xfree86 4.0.2 on my debian/linux .system, but now X cannot start at boot. I get no error messages, so .i am not able to figure out what is going wrong. One more observation. As the command /etc/init.d/xdm start is entered by root, from a character terminal, X starts taking almost 100 % of CPU time, but no display is used (that is vt7 is blank) As that X process is killed (kill -9), another one starts up that is to be killed too, as the former one. Such occurrence of two next X processes has been observed several times in my attempts di make X 4.0.2 up an running; do you have any idea to explain such behavior? thank you (and happy new year) -- Paolo Pumilia email: pumilia@est.it o o o cstc o o o ----- End forwarded message ----- -- G.
