Is it possible to reinstall X.Org server on a multisocket dual-opteron computer running amd64 lenny?
Why? Failure of a DIMM bank did no more allow to launch amd64. Removed the faulty slots, amd64 could be launched and the system seemed to be in order. Filled the empty bank with fresh DDR1 ECC, the total memory increased correspondingly. Again, it was now possible to carry out sophisticated chemical calculations. However, needing now to check 3D molecular structures, I found that "startx" does not launch X anymore, X only appearing as a flash at the bottom of the screen. I checked many X-related files against a i386 lenny, ssh linked, computer (in particular /etc/X11/xorg.conf), don't detecting damaged lines. I did not carry out a checksum. Command: tail --lines 200 /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep EE was not much informative, as shows below between === lines. I suspect that one or more X-related files were damaged as a consequence of the RAM problems above.
