Re: X Server Won't Start

Does haldaemon still cause trouble in FC!?
I had trouble with haldaemon and X11 in FC3.

I have recently installed FC5 (2.6.16) on my Dell Inspiron 6000 and
everything seemed to work out fine until a few days ago. Now when I
boot up it goes to a login screen then goes black....it does this 3
times and then flashes a window that says "Failed to start the X
server. It seems that the pointer device is not set up correctly."

I'm using the touchpad but I have tried a USB mouse @ startup but it
did the same thing.


Any suggestion to try???? Are there any config files I can edit to get
me back to the GUI???


I'm lost. Thanks for any help that can be given.

Hmmm... something like that :
* change "/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S98haldaemon" to "/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K98haldaemon"
* change "/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S98haldaemon" to "/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K98haldaemon"
And remove "rhgb quiet" from your GRUB config.
might help ;-)
Good luck !
