I had a problem with X starting properly after some updates of a month or so ago. I have no recollection which round of updates started the problem. I tried many, many, things to resolve this, but to no avail. Whatever the problem was (which I never was able to discover), a simple upgrade of my F13 system to F14TC1 didn't resolve the issue; the upgrade replaced and updated many packages, too numerous to count - I posted all this, but only got a few replies, so I was apparently on unencountered territory; the final fix was to reinstall F14x64TC1, but rather than upgrading, I fresh installed; I used the custom drive layout option and deleted everything on my / and /boot partitions, reformatting them, while leaving /home intact -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA |
