X won't start

Hello, I change my init level to 3. Now when I log in and type "startx", it does nothing. All I get is a black screen with the mouse cursor in the middle. I was doing this so I could save some system resources. I am running RH 8.0. My RH 9.0 works fine this way. Any ideas what's wrong? TIA

Made changes in 'Control Center', now X won't start...

Hello all, I just did a clean install of RH7.3 on an old Dell notebook. (It was previously running 7.1, no prob.) After the install, everything was working just fine. I was fiddling w/ settings, customizing and such, and I changed some settings in the KDE 'Control Center' having to do w/ b

Re: X won't start due to font error

I have had xfs choke also on three different systems running 6.0 and 6.1. I can't put my finger any any one thing that causes the problem. I have temporarily fixed it by using tcp sockets instead of unix domain sockets. Here's what I did: 1. Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config 2. Change FontPath unix/:-1

Re: X won't start due to font error

Re: X won't start due to font error

Ok, I looked into it a little more. xfs is starting up fine (i.e. 'xfs status' says it is running). When I try to start X, it gives me the error, crashes, and xfs is no longer running ('xfs status' says that xfs has stopped but the lock-file still exists). If I delete the lock file, then I can

Re: X won't start due to font error

This is probably because the font server is not running. Try starting in (/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart). -- Matt Galgoci Job title: export title=`dd if=/dev/random bs=24 count=1` echo $title On Thu, 2 Dec 1999, Mark Ivey wrote: > Hi, > This morning my computer won't start X, i

X won't start due to font error

Hi, This morning my computer won't start X, instead it just gives me the error below. I'm running RH6.0, pretty much just a stock install, and I don't recall doing anything recently that would have caused this. Has anyone had this happen before? _FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno
