Greetings, I built XFree86-4.2.0 from source this morning. I had been running XFree86-4.1.0 for several months. THe build went swimmingly in about 45 minutes. However, something isn't quite right somewhere, and i can't figure out why at the moment. If I attempt to switch to runlevel 5 from 3 X fails to start, and i got the ominous error on the console: id 'x' respawning too quickly, suspended for 5 minutes
However, if i simply do a 'startx' at the console, X fires up without a single problem for any user (root & others). In fact, i'm typing this in Mozilla on the afflicted box right now. So, my best guess is that something wacky is going on with gdm. BTW, this is box is running a very heavily altered version of Redhat. To add a few more data points, I looked in /var/log/XFree86.0.log and there were no errors at all. I looked at /var/log/messages, and there are no clues either. Anyone have any ideas on where I can poke around? ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
