Chris Ctr Alt Bkspc does nothing when its hung. Ctrl Alt F2 Does get a new login prompt and startx --:1 goes as far as it did before and hangs
>"If it is trying to boot straight into the graphical startup (init 5), but it can't >get X running properly, that would explain the server already running on 0. Try pressing CTRL ALT BKSPC to cancel the X server, then you should be able to log on from the command prompt otherwise, CTRL ALT F2 to go to a new login prompt log in as root on redhat type setup to try and configure your X server again, and do the test type startx -- :1 Chris"< Pete The Ctrl -c does kill the server and gives the prompt back. It gives this commentry of the proccess. "^-xinit : Resorce temperarily unavailable (errno 11) Expected Signal 2 Waiting for X server to shutdown. xinit : X server slow to shutdown, sending kill signal. Waiting for server to die." Then the comand prompt appears again >"Just on the command prompt thing - have you tried hitting Control - C? Looks like the X server is hanging and startx doesn't get to exit. It does this for me when I forget to set the display, and ctrl-c is enough to kill it and give me a prompt back. -- Pete"< Mike There is no response with Ctrl Alt F7 at any time. I've tried startx --:7 startx --:1 etc,etc with the same outcome D >"VT number 7 means it has started an X session on virtual terminal number 7. What happens/shows if you hit simultaneously Ctrl-Alt-F7 ? That should take you to the graphical x display on VT 7 > Could this be a memory problem? I only have 32Meg of Ram. 32Meg will be fine. Mike"< Is it possilble that this card just won't work at all with Linux?
