I am interested. I think my laptop has started showing problems that may be possibly traced to the hard disk. My X has irrecoverably crashed on a couple of occasions, and I had to reboot. I normally don't shutdown, only suspend the computer. And I normally have several documents and several tabs in Iceweasel open at any moment. So a crash becomes rather irritating. The error message says (from memory) that X is not properly configured. I can't imagine what problem other than a hard disk error can cause such an error. Best -- V.
