However, I did a RH8 to FC2 upgrade and had a not too dissimilar problem with X. It wouldn't start at all. My problem was the upgrade didn't create an xorg.conf file to replace the XFree86-4 config file for X. Your starting runlevel is in the /etc/inittab file, the line that reads: 'id:5:initdefault:'. Let's know what problem you are having and I will see if I can help you. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Air Force Inertia Axiom: Consistency is always easier to defend than correctness. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
