I've been running RedHat 6.2 for a few months now (and I've been running
Red Hat Linux in general for several years now). I've got it running on
three machines; two of them have X Windows installed.
But I can't get X Windows to work reliably in 6.2! (I don't remember
having ANYWHERE this much trouble with X Windows in previous Red Hat
releases.) When I start it, it looks like it's trying to start X
Windows, fails, and then loops back and tries to do it again. So it
just gets itself into a loop where it constantly fails, and there's no
way to stop it. Even worse, I can't switch to any other virtual
console, because it just switches back to the broken X Windows console.
Only if I Ctrl-Alt-Delete over and over quickly do I have a chance of
getting the machine back under my control.
The worst of it is, X Windows will work fine for a long time, then one
day I'll start up the machine & X Windows will be magically broken. I
don't know what the heck I'm doing to break it, but it's not like I'm
such a sloppy user that I'm just randomly trashing my system. X Windows
just seems FRAGILE.
My question is....when X Windows starts doing this, how the hell do we
debug it?
