x11 Freezes on startup.
 

Okay, when linux starts loading it stops at the starting X11 session manager.

help a n00b out.

By session manager you mean xdm, kdm or gdm?
Are your in init lvl 4?
Did X work before?

PS: Which version of Slackware are you using? Did you update to current? The better information to guide people here about your problem, the best amount of correct answers you'll get.

Yes it worked before, My best friend has been using linux for 10 years and he told me how to change my mouse, so it would work with the scroll wheel, but rin one of the files I changing what type of mouse it was from ps/2 to adding im to it, and adding my scroll wheel axis, it stopped loading into linux,

PS I'm running the latest slackware.

so, you changed your mouse settings by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xf86.conf and X is failing to boot up?
If so, you can just change the settings back to their previous values and X should work again. If not, examine the output of the log file associated with your X program. This will point you to specific errors.

Your mouse driver is set incorrectly. You need to see what /dev/mouse is pointing to. Try running the package tool program (I think it's called pkgtool in the sbin directory). Let it set up your mouse again (chances are you changed it from ps2 to usb). After you change it there, go to /etc/rc.d and type (as root) ./rc.gpm and see what output it gives. If you get no errors then x should work. Otherwise, you need to check symbolic links in your /dev directory (i.e. /dev/input/mice /dev/mouse etc).

edit: that should be: /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm restart

See thats the odd part my friend told me how to change my mouse back and it still froze when it got to the x11 session part.

The error log file can be found at
/var/log/Xorg.0.log if you're using xorg. Take a look at it and see what the errors (EE) are

So here we have a thread for people to learn from.

1. Ask for help
2. Do not try things advised
3. Do not post error messages

You forgot, "Don't research the problem."

This is from the "Ready, FIRE!, Aim" method of problem solving.

What annoyed me about this is that I *just* had fixed this on a new slack install. This exact problem.

I tried looking at that but logged in as root it kept giving me permission denied.

try this:

Parse Error on line 1 of section (null) in file /user/X11R6/ect/X11/Xorg.conf '' ld is not a valid keyword in this section

(EE) Problem Parsing the config file

(EE) Error parsing the config file

Fatal server error: No screens found.

Hands up man! I don't know what's going on, I'm guessing it's a driver issue, hopefully someone else can put this one to rest.
btw is what you posted the output from /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
Also, where is the file /user/X11R6/ect/X11/Xorg.conf ? I don't seem to have that one.
Good luck, and cheers!

After putting this in, that is what I got.
