Hi Dirk, Here are some ideas to try. 1) Confirm X server is still running. [r...@rockover ~]# ps -ef | fgrep Xorg root 14552 14551 0 Apr08 tty1 02:11:17 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-lS2QB0/database -nolisten tcp vt1 Display name is :0 File storing authorization key is /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-lS2QB0/database Virtual terminal number 1 (vt1) (You Xorg log reports virtual terminal 7). 2) Ask the X Server anything. (Get the XAUTHORITY environment variable and display name from output from the previous step). [r...@rockover ~]# XAUTHORITY=/var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-lS2QB0/database xdpyinfo -display :0 | less name of display: :0.0 version number: 11.0 vendor string: The X.Org Foundation vendor release number: 10503000 X.Org version: 1.5.3 ... 3) On the console keyboard switch to the correct Linux virtual console with [Ctrl]-[Atl]-[F7] for your virtual terminal 7. Try F1 to F8 too, just in case. 4) Try temporally removing the configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, starting the X Server again and repeating the previous steps. XOrg X Servers have an in built configuration which should work. 5) Try starting X specifying the client command to run: startx xterm References: man startx man xdpyinfo man xauth Hope this helps, Mike _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
