------------


root@localhost log]# grep EE Xorg.0.log

(EE) Unable to locate/open config file

[root@localhost log]# grep -i failed X*

[root@localhost log]# grep WW Xorg.0.log

(WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev
(WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa
[root@localhost log]#


that config file EE looks ominous but it seems the system
uses defaults:

root@localhost log]# grep -i monitor Xorg.0.log

[root@localhost log]#

so I try startx:

root@localhost ~]# startx
xauth:  creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.2903
xauth:  creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority
xauth:  creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
        If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
        and start again.

xinit:  Server error.
---

so i follow directions


[root@localhost ~]# rm /tmp/.X0-lock
rm: remove regular file `/tmp/.X0-lock'? y
[root@localhost ~]# startx
xauth:  creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.2924
_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already r
unning
xinit:  Server error.
[root@localhost ~]#

no help

I get similar responses if I try using say xorg.conf from my
recent centos5.3 install: [on this same computer, no trouble at all.]
Details differ, but still no X

any ideas?
I am about to give up on f10
Could I expect different response if i d/l iso
instead of using this f10 dvd?
