OS: LM 6.1
Graphics Card: ATI Rage Mach64
RAM: 128MB
Processor: 200MHz Intel II
My system was operating just fine until yesterday. I made some changes to a
couple of directories, which only had data files, not system files in them.
However, upon reboot I got the following: I saw the normal startup (e.g.,
system info, daemon startup, etc.) - no strange messages, except that the
"at" daemon failed to start. X was configured to start right away, but this
time the monitor wouldn't display the GUI (a faint light flickered).
I thought it might have been my XF86Config file, but it wasn't. I ran
Xconfigurator, too, which gave me a graphical display, so I know it's not
the monitor. (I have three other machines using the same monitor -- one of
which is also a LM 6.1 machine.) The following message output makes me
believe it's font/card related.
I did get the following output when I ran startx:

Can anyone shed some light on this problem for me? What should I change?
