If I login on the console and then execute a simple command like 'ls' and then do a `startx`, it works. But if login and immediately do a `startx` (without any preceding command), I get that error. Very strange. The problems do not end there. Once I start X, I experience random freezes of the system. In one session I could play some music and write some email. It froze just after dialing into the internet. In another session it froze while trying to start xmms. After the system freezes in X and when I reboot into mm2, I get an error message like I described in my previous mail just after all the init scripts have started. The system then freezes again. On the subsequent reboot, I can login. The Xfee86 logs (XFree86.0.log and XFree86.0.log.old) do not contain anything relavent. I checked /var/log/messages and it has nothing either. - Apurva - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
