Ok, I was messing around with quake in x.. I logout, decide to shutdown and reboot... Now, everytime mandrake boots... it goes through the normal boot process, everything is loaded and it attempts to go into init level 5. Now, the screen comes up black (as if its in APM mode) and seems to be looping..(reinititalizing over and over and over) trying to load the graphical display login... and well, as you can imagine the graphical login doesn't show up. .Ok, well I figured out how to get into the system with runlevel 3.. (linux init 3, from boot prompt) guess you learn something everyday eh? Ok now.. the problem I have is, something to do with fonts.. xdm is what is looping the console over and over (as it seems and im assuming it has to do with that anyway) as it can't set the default font directory (as I am assuming) can someone tell me whats going on, and how to fix this problem? Im stuck :( Everything worked fine, then all the sudden it decided to do this. Check out the xdm-error.log. Btw, when I do a Xconfigurator, configure it, it goes into the 'test' mode to test my new video settings.. but it drops out and says the same thing.. that it can't load the fixed font.. argh.
