I upgraded one of my machines to FC5 from 4 the other night and
everything went smoothly except on reboot. Now X doesn't work. It
appears that Xorg didn't completely install. I've tried everything I
know, but can't get it completely uninstalled. It tells me xorg-x11-xdm
is not installed, but when querying rpm I get the correct version from
FC5 (1.0.something). Any ideas on how to completely blow X away and
re-install?
Probably the best way to correct the xorg problem is to use the install
media if DVD and use rpm -Uvh --replacefiles --replacepkgs xorg-x11*.rpm
which should install all xorg-x11 packages and overwrite the files
previously installed.
Two questions before you attempt to remove and replace X:
- Did you try to start X in runlevel 3 using startx?
- Did you try to run system-config-display --reconfig in runlevel 3 as
root to try to reconfigure X?
