logout in x doesn't work and nvidia doesn't boot
Hi all,
I have two strange problems that I think are related. The first is during boot, nine times out of ten X won't start but dumps me to root login. I discovered I had to do 'modprobe nvidia', login under my own username and then type 'startx' to get the machine going.
When I logout in the graphic shell (to login as another user for instance), the machine crashes to the text line mode again. The weird thing is that it crashes with a different error every time. I have written down a two:
- waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath: FPE "unix/:-1" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.
- clients rejected from local host
Now my hands are just itching to do yet another reinstall, but my mind is resisting. Reinstalling is for Windoze users, and besides I won't learn anything if I do that. I am failing rather miserably at finding a soluting for this problem. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Merijn
