All, I had installed my TightVNC 1.2.8 from source, and wanted to upgrade to 1.2.9. I downloaded the source for 1.2.9, then went into the 1.2.8 tree and ran a 'make clean' as root. I lost X. Even after installing 1.2.9, when I run either vnc or try startx from the console, I get a gray screen with an 'X' cursor. Below are some log entries when I try that. I have *no* idea what to do, and really don't want to have to reload the whole machine from scratch. :( Any ideas? Log entries below: TIA!
