Okay, it was definitely a hack, but not an interesting one at all. What I
did was a full reinstall with reformat and everything, after tarring my
home directory on storing it on my bf;s Mac. I saved a few other
inportanat files that I didn't feel like recreating (rc.local and
rc.firewall come to mind). All was good, until I rebooted after install,
and it took over a minute to start syslog. (I should mention that I'm
using RedHat 6.) Eventually it started. So I logged in, added a couple
users, and went to Xconfigurator. I gave it all the info it asked foor,
and it did the little probe thing it does,a nd it worked fine. So I went
back and told it to startx. It sat for a few minutes creating
.Xauthority, then when it finally changed the monitor frequency to run X,
it froze the entire I/O. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace didn't kill the server; I
couldn't switcj to a tty; I couldn't do anything except push the power
button. (I know... bad. But fsck recovered nicely.) It did this about 3
times before i gave up.
Any ideas as to what would cause this? When I installed, I told it to
install X and all things related to it. (I like enlightenment/Gnome.
Really, I do. I have the E update in the tar of my home directory, and I
should have the kernel update from a few months ago, too.)
