Hi- Why I thought this was a good idea to tinker with the week before finals I'll never know. I tried upgrading XFree86 4.0 so I could use the newly-released Nvidia drivers, but I must have missed a step or misconfigured something, because now X won't run at all. When I initially tried the upgrade (using RPMs) a couple of nights ago, I was able to run startx and get Xwindows running, no problem -- but without the accellerated drivers. I couldn't get them to install properly, nor could I get the previous nvidia drivers to work (they at least had a modicum of accelleration in them), once I had made the upgrades. xf86config wouldn't make a workable XF86Config file, but Xconfigurator could (which strikes me as very odd). Yesterday, however, when I booted up, I wasn't able to load X at all. I'm getting the error: execve failed on /etc/X11/X (errno 2). /etc/X11/X is linked to XF86_SVGA, a file which seems to be nowhere to be found -- and despite re-installing XFree86-SVGA, is still missing. I can also no longer run Xconfigurator; it dies after probing for my video card. Am I missing something serious (like bolts in my head for even trying this) or do you think this might be a config problem? (Or both -- certainly possible.) Any ideas how I can at least get X up and running again? Thanks- - alan
