Re: x server crash *no graphical interface*

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

 



   This is not XFree86 4.3.  This is the output of an old
XFree86 3.x server (the old XF86_SVGA server).

   It's also not entirely clear that the server isn't running
properly.   If you can move the cursor around, it probably is
and the window manager just isn't starting.

   Can you run /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 and get the root weave
and moveable cursor then <ctrl><alt><backspace> to get back to
the console?  If so, the server itself is running fine.
