me again, so i think i've fixed the problem by escaping the login (fn+F5) then running XF86Setup, loading in my original configuration, and resaving it. then when i ran startx, everything works ok, all original passwords work fine. when i reboot, all is ok. but i'd still like to now how i did it! what did i do to render my old passwords invalid?
