You're a bit short of data here. Did X *ever* work? Is this a clean
install, or one on which people have done lots of patches? I'm seeing
the results right now of a machine that's had patches and local
modifications randomly installed on it. If possible, you should be
able to rlogin or slogin into it (if you've installed OpenSSH!) and be
able to look at the system.- Hide quoted text -

This server has been up and working for many years, it has a
commercial version of ssh installed and everything was working fine,
then all of a sudden startx fails to start. You can ssh into it and
console text is working as well as everything else. I may not have the
proper video drive installed.



Do you need to start or re-start xfs ?
