X Won't Start - Any Ideas?
« on: October 10, 2005, 03:58:39 pm »
EDIT: I sovled the problem by moving /home/root/.matchbox away (mv .matchbox/ .matchboxOLD), and then X started with default settings.

760, RC11 -  I was playing with the settings for the display in X (background image), and when I closed it with OK, X dumped out to the console.

Now "startx" will not work. Console seems to function fine, but when I run startx X seems to starts up, I get the black and white "dogbone" background with the X pointer, and then it goes back to the console.

/var/log/messages:

Any ideas? I'm sure it is something simple, like a broken config file or something, but I can't figure it out. I hate to reflash.

Thanks.
