My X has died and won't come back. I had several windows open, making lyx, running dselect, and a few windows on an alpha. Then I attempted to try xfishtank, and the display froze. No mouse, no keyboard, no nothing.
I telnetted to the alpha from another machine, and all of the jobs were gone, though they still appeared on the linux display. I telnetted to the linux box, and rebooted. The display hung when trying to start xdm, but it could still be reached by telnet. I've removed & reinstalled xbase, xserver-s3, xlib, and xvga16. I then ran XF86Setup (from xvga16), and reconfigured. It hung starting the xserver. The only way I've found to get the console back is to reboot; simply killing X, which takes all available cycles (runs at just shy of 100% endlessly). Does anyone have any idea how to solve this, short of a complete reinstall? rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
