grr. After two years, i finally had a real crash. By this point, I was suspicious enough to wipe the disk--there had been plenty of heat freezes before I got the coooling in. Even got a kernel panic.
Anyway, about 60% of the way through formatting the / partition, the drive ground for a while, much like a floppy read, then went on. I assume it found a bad spot. But how do i check to make sure it recorded this? Also, I don't seem to have xdm working again. I have the lines # font server configuration file # $XConsortium: config.cpp,v 1.7 91/08/22 11:39:59 rws Exp $ clone-self = on use-syslog = off allow-user-xsession catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/us r /X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ f onts/100dpi/ error-file = /var/lib/xfs/xfs-errors # in decipoints default-point-size = 120 default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100 xfs-start-server start-xfs xdm-start-server start-xdm for /etc/X11/config, and /etc/X11/XF86Config is sufficient that startx works as expected. however, no xdm is started on boot, and /etc/init.d/xdm start merely starts an idle process that does nothing. help! rick p.s. I also can't start in other than 8bpp; attempting 16 just gives me 8, and 24 gives me an unusable screen. I really don't need them much, save that i run staroffice4 in 16, as it's a color hog. -- These opinions will not be those of ISU until it pays my retainer. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
