The X server writes a log file that will normally tell you why X can't start up. You can find in /var/log, and it should be called XFree86.0.log. You can also view the output by logging in on a text console and using "startx". best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen andreas.janssen@bigfoot.com PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976      |

| Re: couldn't start X server I did check the /var/log/XFree86.0.log. The error are: (II) R128(0) Not using default mode "640x480" (hsync out of range) (II) R128(0): not using default mode "320x240" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) What should I do to trigger the problem. I know the X server is running, when I reboot the system I notice that. Thanks. cljlk wrote: > I just install RedHat9 into my Laptop. When it prompt the login, the > screen keep falshing.

Thanks. Maybe the configuration data for your graphic card is wrong. Take a look at the XFree configuration file (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 or /etc/X11/XF86Config). especially the "Device" section. Also see if the XFree log file contains any lines beginning with (EE) or (WW). best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen andreas.janssen@bigfoot.com PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 |

| Re: couldn't start X server In /var/log/XFree86.1.log contains: (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implented (??) unknown.

Please advice. Try to reconfigure the X server. Try to use the VESA driver instead the R128 driver and see if that works. Tell us the type of your graphic card, the Device and Monitor sections from your XFree config file. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen andreas.janssen@bigfoot.com PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 |
