Seems as if some files on your hard disk are corrupted due to the power shutdown. Reinstalling all X-related packages should help. The other possibility is there are old temporary files (/tmp/.X*). Remove them and try again. But your logfile points to corrupted files, this may occur when these files were in use when the power failure happened.

On RedHat, which I am most familar with, xfs is in it's own package and has it's own startup script. Startx is not responsible for starting it. It must already be running.

Re: [Xpert]error after server crash
With RedHat, it starts automatically on boot. I don't know what distro you have, so that may vary. If it's RedHat or Mandrake, you should have a /etc/init.d/xfs script if the correct package is installed. To make sure it starts up automatically, there should be a link to it in the runlevel directory corresponding to the runlevel you are entering on startup (it sounds like you are starting at runlevel 5.) If you don't understand what I am talking about, do some homework. :-) The best way to understand things is to do the research and learn. I personally use ntsysv to manage my startup script links. Use man ntsysv to learn how to use it. It's very simple. There are a lot of other programs that you can use to do this, or you can create and delete the links by hand. Again, you probably want to do some research and find the way you prefer to do it. One of the strengths of Linux is that it does not dictate policy to the user, but that's also a weakness. If you want a standard way to do things, you are going to hate it because there seldom is one. If you like options, you will have plenty. :-) On Thursday 02 January 2003 11:20 am, Jose Avalis wrote: Sorry, I'm relatively new in Linux, I've tried to start fxs from command line, but nothing happened, should I specify any parameter?? thanks a lot. - Original Message - From: Eric Princen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 10:16 AM Subject: Re: [Xpert]error after server crash On RedHat, which I am most familar with, xfs is in it's own package and has it's own startup script.

Simply reinstall the X server package and the font server. There may be some different packages for the server drivers, simply reinstall everything that's already installed. Before that I would look if there are dead lockfiles or pidfiles that prevent a new instance from running. This is most common when X crashes but may also happen if the font server terminates. Look for those files in /temp and in /var/lock, and don't forget to specify the -a-option for the ls command to see the files starting with a dot. Are there any hints in the /var/log/messages (or whatever the system log file is called on your distribution) about the start or failure of the font server?

Quoting Fabian Niestroj [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi. When the system load is high, for example a program is starting or mozilla is loading a page, and I'm moving the mouse, the pointer on the screen is not moving continuously but jumping. Is there a way to fix it? There can be a number of causes - the mouse is not sampled often enough is unlikely. More likely is that X isn't getting enough cycles to update everything at the same time, or isn't getting cycles often enough to provide the illusion of smooth movement. I tried to optimize the mouse: According to Logitech the resolution of the mouse is higher if the usb connector is used. But then I read the option Resolution is only applicable if the ps2 connector is used. And what values for Resolution are allowed? Although the mouse is now connected to a usb port, the protocol is imps/2 and not usb. There is a way to modify the resolution of the sensor on some Logitech USB mice (400dpi or 800dpi) - you need to use certain vendor specific (non-standard) commands. It works on most mice that have the dual optical sensor. I can't tell if your mouse is one of those that are supported (since you didn't bother to identify the mouse), but from memory, MX300, MX500, and recent iFeel are amongst those that are supported. I have a full list at home. I also have an application to check what setting is in use, and to change the setting. I guess I should post it here. Ping me in a couple of days if I forget.

But you definitely should make your port tree up to date. Though the main x11 port (x11/XFree86-4) has version 4.2.0, the server port x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server does have version 4.2.1. If you still have problems building or installing the ports, then you should try [EMAIL PROTECTED] to see if it's FreeBSD issue. Cheers, yushun. Anyone has other suggestions?

[Xpert]XFree86 4.2.0 for SiS650
I am trying to get a SiS650 video card to work with XFree86 4.2.0 (kernel 2.4.18-6mdk; all from Mandrake 8.2). I recently learned that most recent sis driver (under development by Thomas Winischhofer) supports SiS650, but I am having some trouble getting my hands on the binaries of this driver (I have problems gunzipping the files on his website). Questions: (1) Can anybody pass me binaries for a sis driver (I think I need sis_drv.o and sis_dri.so) new enough to support SiS650 for my system? (2) Is there a way to set up the card for now with some generic driver, however poor the performance? E.g., with XFree86 3.3.6 it runs with FBDev. --Alan ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

I also have an application to check what setting is in use, and to change
the setting. I guess I should post it here. Ping me in a couple of days if
I forget.
This is the application. Probably doesn't work with your mouse though.
In addition to mouse resolution, it can test wireless features and disable
smart scroll on some mice.
Requires: libusb (http://libusb.sf.net)

More likely is that X isn't getting enough cycles to update everything at the same time, or isn't getting cycles often enough to provide the illusion of smooth movement. Under Debian, X runs with priority -10 which should help to prevent this. Maybe increasing the priority of X will help (renice -10 `pidof XFree86`). - -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP key: http://chrishowells.co.uk/pgp.txt KDE: http://www.koffice.org, http://printing.kde.org, http://usability.kde.org -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+FNiuF8Iu1zN5WiwRAv3NAJ4id4DHEQAcm+EN0TjUEdAYOdXC4wCeNFxi OqXnCwFSZr+YxCfvUC146+s= =Lhq1 -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
