Hello, I've done a bit more investigating since I made this post, and observe in the log files referenced below that the X server is aborting with a Signal 7. From my research, this could indicate a hardware issue, but I don't think so here.
The log file shows the following: Fatal server error: Caught signal 7. Server aborting I also see in the log file (URL below) that it is loading module PCIDATA, which is interesting since the Amiga 2000 does not have a PCI bus: (II) LoadModule: "pcidata" So, is anyone else seeing their Sarge X server aborting in Signal 7, or have suggestions as to where I might look next? Also, I had also reported that I was not able to log on to the Amiga with my normal user account but was successful with root via my X Terminal. I tracked that down to my .xsession file not starting a window manager. X will close the session in that case because it has nothing else to do. This is noted in FAQ and the example xsession file that is part of the Sarge distribution. So, not to the Signal 7 problem.
