Hi, Got a problem getting my machine to automatically boot into X. I can get it to boot into a console and then use 'startx' to get into X. but everytime i tell it to boot into X it just gives me a black screen when its meant to give me a logon screen.
It could possibly be a video card problem. I cannot switch between X (once started) and a console ( doing ctrl-alt-F1) and then back to X (doing ctrl-alt-F7). Gives me this same black screen. Looks like it has a problem switching. I am running Mandrake LE2005 (10.2). It is an IBM machine, onboard video card - intel 82845 chipset. Using the 845 driver. Looked thru the logs and found a few errors. Dont know if these have anything to do with it. <snip> ... Failed to load module "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a" ... </snip> <snip> ... ignoring font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont ... </snip> Other font directories are listed also... I mean i can always boot into the console and then into X... but all my previous machines X has just booted.. i want it to work on this machine :) Thanks in advance Adam. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
