hi people
i have been using fedora since release and just today a strange thing
started happening. My X fails to start on boot (it fails 6 times then
says it will wait 2 mins b4 retrying). This is strange because before

IMHO, this is usually an indication of an invalid resolution having been chosen. IOW, your X is erroneously configured.


is being used and so goes off trying to use DISPLAY:1 which also fails 6
times and then waits 2 mins b4 it all starts all over again ....

as you can probably see - my work is interupted every 2 mins (for
approx. 2 mins) while X chucks a spac!

any ideas on how to solve this annoying problem - oh yeah i checked
/var/log/XFree* and there are no error messages there :(

... if this is any help: have you had a look at /etc/X11/X86Config? This is where I would look, besides checking your log files.


HTH,
