You might take James' advice and check the X logs. If you're lucky, if the issue is a couple of failures to start X, the successful start won't have written over the previous logs. (I'm not sure how you'd be able to tell if you were unlucky and X had to restart a few times but overwrote the log.) --keith -- kkel...@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I tested an NVidia NVS 510 with both the standard nouveau driver, and the proprietary kmod-nvidia, nvidia-x11-drv rpms from elrepo. The two gave very similar quick response on our application, so we've decided to use the standard nouveau driver.

I don't know why the session on the first console wouldn't be :0.0, but I'd consider any X application that cared what display it uses to be badly broken. I'm much more likely to run things in a freenx/NX session than on the main console (if there even is one). -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I've seen this on CentOS 6 - X (re-)starts up on something other than :0 I didn't spend any time investigating why at the time - but I guess the reasons why X didn't start on :0 should be in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?

Yes, they are different, but mostly in the way the device names are managed. Both essentially randomize the order of detection and the numbers each device gets, but in 5.x having the right HWADDR= and mac address in the ifcfg-eth? file was sufficient to rename the device to match the DEVICE= in the file. In 6.x the names are set according to the rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (which will be recreated at reboot, possibly in a different order if you delete it after a change). The /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-xxx files have to match the DEVICE= and HWADDR= entries to work. There is also some special handling for netbios names in a weak attempt at consistency that only works on certain Dell servers. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
