Thanks Ronald! Switching to VESA did the trick.
Something might have gotten toasted, incidentally I had to disable the floppy
drive in the bios because it won't pass the startup test.
Thanks everyone for replying!

try to lower it to vesafb or the fb equip. If it's not the video card driver,
maybe some hardware gave up or nearly giving up. Or might be a file corruption,
try fsck'ing partitions.

I just checked /var/log/yum.log. No, there were no Xorg related packages in the
last yum update. There WERE some Xorg packages in the update before last. The
thing is, I don't recall using the logout feature until recently.
Is there an easier fix than reinstall everything? It would be a good excuse to
upgrade to CentOS 5, except I don't really need or want to at this point.

Might be the last update.. encountered that scenario before.. can't find a cure
so backup system config and migrate back to newly install system...
Does the last update involved Xorg?

Thanks for replying Greek. I'm using the onboard video card. I think the driver
should be unichrome(?) I installed the unichrome driver on it a long time ago.
Is this the section I should be interested in?
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "via"
VendorName "VIA Tech"
BoardName "via"
EndSection
By the way, it used to work fine. It only started acting like this yesterday.
Mind you, I don't log out a lot though. I usually start it up, leave it on for
a long time, shut down (sometimes), or start it up after recovering from a
power interruption (sometimes). The last thing I can remember doing that
could've caused this is when I ran a "yum upgrade" and updated some packages at
the same time.

Do you have correct driver for your video card in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? is your
video card savage?

Hello PLUG. I'm running CentOS 4.7. I'm having the following problem:
On logging out from a GNOME session (Actions -> Log Out -> Log Out), the
computer simply hangs. The Caps Lock and Scroll lock keys on the keyboard are
flashing. I can ping it from another computer, but services like VNC and Webmin
won't work anymore.
What should I do to troubleshoot the issue? Which log files should I check?
Thanks,
gillbates
