Sorry if this is OT in redhat-list. Pointer appreciated if so. I'm running a Dell Dimension with an S3 Virge card, 128 MB Ram, and 9 GB SCSI HD. The SCSI controller is an Adaptec 2940.
The root user lost its X desktop during one of the up2date runs. It used to be there, but now it's gone. Other users are not affected. When I enter "startx" at the command prompt, I see the gray crosshatch background that usually preceeds my desktop, but then everything stalls with the mouse pointer showing as an "X" in the screen. I can move the mouse or change screen resolutions, but the desktop never appears. I have to explicitly kill the server (Cntl-Alt-Backspace) to get back to the command prompt. There are no error messages shown. Google hasn't been my friend on this. All suggestions welcome.
