Can you send tot the list more information about the problem? for example the XF86Config-4 file, the output of XFree86... You can get the output of XFree86 executing as root: XFree86 > /root/output-X11.log 2>&1 With this information it's possible to solve the problem. Kind Regards.

The X-Windows problem is solved here, now (well, solved user-wise). I found the XFree86.0.log file in /var/log/ and had a look through it. It showed that cyrillic fonts were missing, so I installed cyrillic fonts and reloaded configs. It worked. In any case, if others are having the same

Hi I am using woody and I am having the same problem. Last Sunday I did an upgrade and got the new XFree 4. Since then quite a few things have been getting worse and worse. The worst is that since 2 days starting X makes the screen black and the machine locks-up. Actually I don't think the mach

I solved the problem by reinstalling perl 5.6 via dpkg. Now there is another serious problem. When x-windows starts up via xdm, the screen goes blank and the whole machine locks-up. I had to use the rescue disk to mount the hard drive and stop xdm from starting to reboot, get into lynx and s
