That appears to be the logfile from a correctly working server. Does it fail if you run startx from the commandline? My guess is that it's not the server that's failing. Mark.

When installing the OS, the coputer will freeze whenever I get to the point where I need to test the video display [once i have set resolutions etc] The problem, from what I can work out from looking around was that this OS has an older versino of xfree86 which has a problem with a couple of cards one of those being the ATI radeon chipset.

Re: [XFree86] installation of X on Redhat Linux 8.0
I didn't mess with the glic libs. I think RH8 ships with the right ones. I'd unenstall 2.2 if you can. I just went to the XFree site and uses CVS to check out the entire source for XFree86 -- the xc or most current version. Then I compiled and installed it from the source files. It worked. I've still got some issues with the fglrx driver and some sort of ATI control program that doesn't work but it doesn't seem to stop any think else from working. One strange thing that has happened recently is that up2date has died. This is puzzling. Now I'm trying to get the latest version of the gcc files and recompile the gcc compiler set from source. I'm getting stupid errors out of the fortran compiler. Seems that it can't parse nested do loops properly. I think there are some bug patches to XFree available now so I will probably recompile both systems. Well, first I'll do the gcc and run their test suite. Then I'll upgrade XFree. I hope nothing breaks right when I do these changes. Good luck Bill Lea David Woodcock wrote: -- Nissan Motor Co. (Australia) Pty. Ltd. Attention: This e-mail message is privileged and confidential.

Re: [XFree86] installation of X on Redhat Linux 8.0
I too am having difficulties like David is having. I used the Xinstall script, and allowed it overwrite files that it asked to overwrite. I saved the original /etc/X11 in hopes of being able to fix any problems, but I can't seem to do it. In my case I copied some files back to /etc/X11 and now gdmchooser goes in an endless loop. If I use startx things work well. If I change the greeter to standard greeter using gdmsetup, things work better, but when I try to logout of my X session, it just kills the window manager and the X session stays.
