Hey all, I just recently installed Fedora Core 6 (did not go as smoothly as FC5 having some weird crashing issues during the update and now having dependency issues but I can resolve those myself) The issue I am having but am not alone is that after restart it loads only to the CLI for login and not into the GUI itself. when I try to start X this error:
xauth:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xauth:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If server is no longer running, remove /temp/.X0-lock
and start again.
Xlib:xxxxxxxxxxxx
xinit:xxxxxxxxxxxx
I see others are having the same problem as this user on this forum.

I was looking around here for the same issue and a resolution but was unable to locate a similar post with helpful information using the search function.
To resolve this I have to rm the following file "/temp/.X0-lock"
Doing so allows me to "startx" normally.
I have already confirmed my init file is defaulting to 5 as it should be. This is NOT the issue at all. This did NOT occur in FC5. However my hardware has changed since I used FC5 and the change is that I added a second video card for the SLI function. I now have BFG 7800 GTX x 2 instead of one. I am unsure of how to get the SLI working but that is another issue altogether that I will be researching. I am curious if the SLI could be a factor. The Prev poster did not post his system specs so I am unable to see any similarities to our hardware that may related to this issue.
If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again all! Cheers!
