I've been having a problem with starting up X lately. And today I can't start it period. When I 'startx' the screen goes black, the small Red Hat splash comes up and then it just sits. It never gets to the point where the little icons start lighting up as things are being loaded. There is no disk activity. The machine isn't locked up and I can move the mouse around in it. It just doesn't start. The last couple of times this happened, I killed it and it would start fine after that. Now it won't. Any ideas? Here is what was on the console as it tried to start: [bts@clown bts]$ startx XFree86 Version 4.2.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.2.0-72) / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 23 January 2002 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
