That, and the kernel output mentioning lastclose. Note that I don't mean a 'traditional' server abort. When e.g. the dynamic loader hits an unresolved symbol, the X server process is terminated immediately, so it doesn't get a chance to even try and restore the console. So the symptoms of that can be very similar to a 'freeze'. > The Xserver began to start, the console went black and the cursor > into the upper left corner and stopped blinking. > I had to access the machine through ssh to get the logs. Did the X server process still exist at that time? -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
