[Newbie]Can't logon after XFree86 4.2.0 install

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I installed glibc-2.2.5 and gcc-3.0.4 on my Redhat 6.2 system so I could 
use the
XFree86 4.2.0 binaries to do my upgrade.  I am running KDE desktop 1.1.2.
The XFree86 install seemed to go fine as did the following run of 
xf86config.

During the install of XFree86 4.2.0 I was asked if I wanted to overwrite 
the previous
config files such as app-defaults, fs, xdm, etc.  The documenttion said 
that if I hadn't
customized any of these files it would be OK to answer "Y" to all these 
overwrite
questions, so I did.  Of course, I guess that installing a desktop such 
as KDE or
GNOME could be considered as a customization.

At any rate, when I rebooted following the run of xf86config I was 
presented with the KDE
login screen (sans blue background) and typed in my username and 
password.  The screen
blanked for a second and then returned me to the login screen.  Does 
anyone know what
is happening here?  Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Jeff Stephens
