But, here is it again anyway: Xorg.0.log:
My experience is that if X sends the wrong sync to a monitor, all that happens is that the monitor shows a borked picture, or nothing at all exept an error message. X doesn't crash...
My expearience is slightly different.
If X fails to start due to refresh rate issues, then it will fail to start, not
"crash" just will stop trying to load.
However this error seems to suggest that it did "crash".
It could be due to a damaged hard disk in transit? Causing a problem with some of the libraries?
