The ServerFlags section does not help, though it did have an effect. I have to deliberately add an error to xorg.conf and when the box boots, it displays a "console graphics" screen saying that xorg.conf is improperly configured and I am able to drop back to a login prompt.
I login normally, fix the xorg.conf file and type at the command line: X Next, I see the console graphics screen about xorg.conf, but in reversed (?) colors. The keyboard and mouse are unresponsive. "kill -9 X_PID" does not seem to restore the session, nor the keyboard. I'm only able to use the keyboard by remotely rebooting the machine. The only statement from gdb I get is: 0xf7ca3070 in select () from /lib/v9/libc.so.6 My Xorg.0.log is: X Window System Version 7.1.1 Release Date: 12 May 2006 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1 Build Operating System: UNKNOWN Current Operating System: Linux Ultraz 2.6.17-2-sparc64 #1 Wed Sep 13 10:39:24 PDT 2006 sparc64 Build Date: 07 July 2006 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
