Running the same system as below, I eventually got X working. However, after about 20 minutes it up and dies. It just hangs and won't go anywhere. can't even ctrl+alt+del. nothing is showing up in logs as far as i can tell. It didn't start before X worked though. Furthermore, now that X is set up, my terminals are completely unusable. Every other letter is shifted about half a screen off. Everything goes through ok (so i can execute shutdown -r now if i need to, for example)) but it's unusable. however, trying to switch to the terms causes the system to hang from X every time. So i can only switch to terminals successfully while in the gdm menu. I'm not sure what's going on . . . anybody have any ideas? Thanks a bunch Joel On Tue, 22 Jul 2003, Joel wrote:
