I am a relative newbie to Linux and Redhat 9 is my distribution of choice. But I find that it is relatively easy to crash X. Yesterday for example, my son accidentally pulled off the mouse chord. X complained that the mouse was not found and when I inserted the mouse back, it complained about Fontpath: UNIX/7100. Since X would not start, I commented that line in XFree86.conf, X would not start. For newbies like me, this is a killer. The only solution I have is to reinstall Redhat. I have now done that about 4 times in the last 2 months. I am wondering if this is common experience or am I missing something? I hate to have to go into the .conf files to keep my system running. What can I do to ensure that my system is immune to crashes arising from minor accidents?
