Dear friends:
My thanks to Craig Sprout for this hint. I hope this leads to a
solution.
I checked my partitions (df) and, lo and behold, discovered that my main
partition (/) is absolutely full (0 bytes left and 100% of disk space
used).
This doesn't make any sense to me. This may have something to do with my
failed attempt to install Ximiam Gnome 1.4 a day or so ago, which ended
with a long list of errors at the very end of installation and forced me
to cancel the whole thing.
By the way, all of my XFree86 files are versions 4.03, including my
Xfree86-xfs file. Is this correct? And I use Xfree86-SVGA 3.3.6 as my
default Xserver with my Nvidia card. Xfree86 4.0.3 doesn't work on my
computer.
Thanks again for trying to help.
Benjamin
