info that may help: your X config file, on redhat I think this is /etc/X11/XF86Config, if not then try /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 drop to runlevel 3(login as root and type 'init 3') then try to start X manually, redirect output to a file: startx >&/tmp/X.log include that X.log in your next post and for the XF86Config, when you include that get the config via: cat XF86Config| grep -v "#" | grep -v "^$" so it strips out all the extra junk that takes up space. preferably post the files on a web or ftp site rather then posting directly to the list. /var/log/XFree86.*log may have the needed info as well, I still do the startx >&X.log out of habbit though. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
