    I have no clue what happened. I updated (via up2date) glibc stuff.
    Ive been having some odd delay problems with the network connection
    lately, specifically apache (all I run is apache, DNS and sshd
    right now), so I rebooted my machine and the X display wont come up.

    It asks me to try and fix it via root password, so I do that and it
    goes off into never-never land (black screen) and never returns.

    Any ideas?

    I tried running redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig
    but I get the following:

    * ddcprobe returned bogus values:
    ID: None
    Name: None
    HorizSync: None
    VertSync: None

    Trying with card: S3 Trio64 (generic)
    Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display "localhost:10.0".

    Im doing this over an xhost connection onto another machine of mine,
    I get a display showing me my resolution and color depths, I say OK
    then it says you must restart your server...so I reboot but same
    results.

    Im using RH 9.0, Samsung Syncmaster 4NE with a S3 Trio card (old).

    Secondly, not sure if this is related, but I run the command:

    find / \( -nouser -o -nogroup \) -print

    to see if any files are not owned by someone. I keep seeing
    files that have no owner or no group ownership, just numbers
    that dont exist in /etc/passwd or /etc/group

    Im running a tight IPTables on my machine with 2.4.22 kernel

    Any help is much appreciated!
