Hi All,
I use a triple boot PC (Win 98/RH7.3/MDK 9.1) at home.
The specs are Intel Celeron 900 MHZ, 128 MB RAM
Intel 815 M/B (16 MB Shared RAM), Samsung 15" Monitor (56V).
 I was trying to upgrade KDE in RH7.3 with PCQ July issue CD to KDE
3.1.1. I copied  the all the rpm's to a directory and started
installing them as per directions in the mag.
rpm -Uvh qt-*.rpm --nodeps --force
rpm -Uvh arts-*.rpm --nodeps --force
rpm -Uvh quanta*.rpm --nodeps --force
rpm --kde-*.rpm --nodeps --force

During all the above except for the last (kde*.rpm) there was
indication that installation was going on. During installation of KDE
rpms some error message came and I did not note it down.
Since errors came I tried uninstalling them in the reverse order
rpm -e quanta, then arts , then qt. But error message was that those
packages were not installed.
After working for some more time, I shut down the PC.
Today morning I booted into Redhat, but the monitor was blinking
madly. After about two minutes, error message was
"INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast. Disabled for 5 minutes"

I waited. It started blinking again.

I rebooted into mandrake. There GUI login was there . No problem.
Booting into windows also was normal.

So hardware problems, graphics card driver corruption are ruled out.(I
think)
I checked up XF86Config-4 file, no changes have taken place.
Again booting into redhat gave one more error message in addition to
the earlier one
"gpm:oops( ) invoked from gpm.c(164)"

What can be done to remedy the situation?
