Re: Can't Start XServer

Hi

First check your disk free space with

df -h ---> disk free and
df -i ----> Inode free

Secondly clean the "/tmp" directory

thirdly go into the runnlevel 3 and
move the configuration file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" to some file "Make sure the
file is moved not copied"

then issue the command "system-config-display"

after issuing the command you should see the X window and a dialog box for
configuring your display

when you click "finish" it will return to the command prompt

now enter into the runlevel 5 -------- You will get the display correctly
