Okay, obligatory homestar references aside, I broke something. I had the bright idea to update my nvidia graphics drivers, just in case it would help. Of course, the driver can't update if X is running; I had a hard time figuring out how to get it to boot without X (it's Redhat 9, so that's sort of `built in' when you install it). What I eventually did was create a .xinitrc file in my home directory, and left it blank, figuring that it would then not boot X at all, which it didn't. That all went fine. But, when I deleted my blank .xinirc file, and rebooted, it still didn't start gdm on boot. Of course, all I need to do is type `startx', and then X starts up (but in /tty8, not /tty7... that confused me for a minute). Anyone have an idea what I broke, and an easy way to fix it? I guess I could just write a new script and have the only line be `startx', but I'd rather do it properly, so X runs in tty7 like it's `supposed' to. adv(Thanks)ance, Phil _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
