X does not start on FC6
Hello folks,
I had FC1 on my desktop, working quite smoothly. Recently I upgraded to FC6, and to my horror I find that X is not working. Below are the warnings and Errors picked up from the log. Warnings Quote:

Any help, friends. Thanks in advance. Prabhat Soni |
Have you tried running "system-config-display" ? It should automatically configure your X server for you.

Thanks.
I have tried, but not exactly by this command. I have run setup. Which gives you setup options menu for many things. Among them is one related to X. But unfortunately that too has failed. In fact, I first installed FC6 on my PC at my workplace. There it is working perfectly. But the PC at my home is not so. BYy default this PC tried to go to GUI after installation, but it could not. Then I changed the default run level to 3,and tried to do experiments. Surprisingly the installation was done graphically. I will try the "system-config-display" and let you know the result. Next time I will also post the last 20 lines of the log. Meanwhile, I have installed all xorg packages from the five CDs. But this too has not been of much use. Thanks. Prabhat Soni |
Ok friends,
Here is the last few lines of the log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log Quote:
Thanks. Prabhat Soni |
Too bad, It seems there is no one to help my out of this problem.
May be I should switch back to FC1. Afterall what a PC is with GUI. FRIENDS, PLEASE HELP OUT. prabhat Soni |
The issue has been sorted out, and I am out of the mess.
Very easy ! You upgrade to FC5 from FC6 ! Thanks anyway. Prabhat Soni |

In a moment of genius I enabled dual head monitors on a Thinkpad T41 running RHEL4 and found that each login took me straight back to the login prompt (gnome). When I booted to init 3 and ran system-config-display I was able to deselect the dual head option. Saved the day - woohoo! :) |
