The DOS codepage and keyboard table are useless here. And - as you have already seen - things been loaded within dos (especially tsr-programs) might affect other OSes - since no hard reboot is done, these things remain in memory. These DOS drivers can cause strange behaviour: these days I needed to flash the firmware of my wireless lan card. Tried to boot to plain dos gave me no success, the flash tool exited with an error. After I tried many things (tried to install Win to get real access to the pcmcia ports instead of the port only access through the flash tool and several other things) suddenly writing to the card worked. Did a clean reboot as I didn't want to run the flash tool in a uncertain environment - same error as in the beginning. In the end loading exactly these codepages and the german keyboard driver were the causes for the error message. Removing everything from config.sys and autoexec.bat was the solution. Using lilo or grub seems the best and most clean solution to me. Cheers, Sebastian ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Logged in as root, when I try to start the graphic interface startx the screen turns black and I get the error logged in the attached file. Seems as if some files on your hard disk are corrupted due to the power shutdown. Reinstalling all X-related packages should help. The other possibility is there are old temporary files (/tmp/.X*). Remove them and try again. But your logfile points to corrupted files, this may occur when these files were in use when the power failure happened.

Could you tell me which utility should I use andwhich packages should I remorve and reinstall? Doesn't RedHat have some kind of package manager? Simply reinstall the X server package and the font server. There may be some different packages for the server drivers, simply reinstall everything that's already installed. Before that I would look if there are dead lockfiles or pidfiles that prevent a new instance from running. This is most common when X crashes but may also happen if the font server terminates. Look for those files in /temp and in /var/lock, and don't forget to specify the -a-option for the ls command to see the files starting with a dot. Are there any hints in the /var/log/messages (or whatever the system log file is called on your distribution) about the start or failure of the font server?

[Xpert]list archive, how to do debug build of X?
Hi all, I'm new to this list and would like to know where the archive can be found. Searches at google always lead me to a 404, think the pages have moved. But where to? I'm looking for further information about the nvidia lockups. Second, I'd like to build a debug release - but could not find any information how to do that.
