X Windows Won't start anymore help!!

shizzilla · 06-15-2003, 07:11 PM

Hi

My Xwindows has decided not to start after filling the partition with
/
/dev
/usr
/bin
/lib
/opt
/sbin
/root

on it

I would like to know how I can remove what ever is left of it and reinstall it from the command line now that I removed all my junk in /root/

Here is my startx output

And just some advice don't leave your MDK 9.1 Disk 1 in your mom's CD Drive with the system set to boot to the CD Drive.
She may hit enter over and over and install linux over her current system.

It looks like X is misconfigured, or you're missing some fonts.
Have you tried running /etc/X11/bin/xf86config again?

shizzilla · 06-15-2003, 11:06 PM

after reconfiguring it i get the same error my video card works but i'm wondering if it is the driver for the video card that is damaged.

Anyway, post up your XF86Config-4 file so we can see if there's a problem with it. Also, post up /var/log/XFree86.0.log so we can view some errors.

Cool

As je_fro says, there is likely a problem in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. In my experience though, xf86config doesn't help matters either.... at least not with mandrake... however, I'm no guru, so I'm afraid I cannot be of much help.... unless reinstallation is an option for you

Hi,

I had a similar problem before and it turned out to be a bad card. I swithced it with an ATI and ran through Xconfig and pow my Xwindows was back and running again. Do you have an extra V card you can try this out with?

I would like to know how I can remove what ever is left of it and reinstall it from the command line now that I removed all my junk in /root/

Ok, so thank you for that. But I was reading this over to remember what was going on and noticed your question. So you just want to remove your X server and re-install it? Or what do you mean? Do you just wanna fix the problem, or do you want to upgrade your X server?

FYI, so far, to me, it looks like just a driver problem.

Cool

What ever will work is what I want to do.

MasterC · 06-16-2003, 11:31 AM

he he, good choice of words

Well I'd first off not use xf86config to setup your file since Mandrake has a tool for it. In fact, it's listed at the top there:
XFdrake
I think if you run that as root, it will walk you through setting up (or re-setting up) your X server. I'd first back up this one (even though it's not working, it's something) and then start experimenting. Easiest way to backup something:
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.orig (or XF86Config-4.old either way it's a naming convention easy for you to remember which one you are backing up).

Then start experimenting... First, comment out the line for font:
# FontPath "unix/:-1"
Just like that (just place a # in front of a line to keep your X server from reading it).

Now, run through a startx, check the error messages and see what shows up (I don't see much/any errors so far though...).

Assuming (it probably won't) it doesn't start, then move onto more drastic changes. Change:

Code:

Section "Device"
Identifier "device1"
BoardName "S3 Trio64V+ (generic)"
Driver "s3"
VideoRam 2048
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

To:

Code:

Section "Device"
Identifier "device1"
BoardName "S3 Trio64V+ (generic)"
Driver "vesa"
#VideoRam 2048
#Option "DPMS"
EndSection

And just noticing something, it says 2048 for your VideoRam, do you really only have 2 Megs for video? If not, you can change that to whatever (in kilobytes) you actually have.

If that doesn't work (save exit and attempt a startx) then move onto XFdrake and other things like xf86config and things like that (or remove and re-install your X server).

Cool

thank a whole bunch I got it working with XFdrake

Thanks

you deserve a cyber huge

MasterC · 06-16-2003, 07:24 PM

I noticed you are from UT, and I just came back from there, so I felt obligated to ride this one out

Cool
