Re: [expert] X server crash

Thanks to you all for the help.
I tried xfree86config and made a mess. I tried to update with cd1 and setup
the xfree86 server - it crashed again. Finally I followed the steps Kwan
proposed:
xfs was dead but xfs.pid existed
I deleted the xfs.pid and restarted the xfs - it crashed again.
I reinstalled the package xfsprogs... and hit a reboot. Voila! Finally
a success.

You have all been very helpful and for the time being everything is just
fine *let's hope it will be this way and in the future).

Make sure the the xfs server is running:
  [root@omicron root]# service xfs status
  xfs (pid 1560) is running...

If it's not, restart it. If you get an error about subsys locked, try
deleting the /var/run/xfs.pid then restarting xfs with:
  
  [root@omicron root]# service xfs start


If it doesn't restart properly, try reinstalling the xfs package in
case it has gotten corrupted.

Try restarting your xfs server.

As root, service xfs restart ,without the quotes and then try 
restarting X.

 Hi.
 I previously wrote an inaccurate message concerning the crash.
 Now I can give the .log-file explaining the error.
 When I type startx this is the outcome (the server would not start). How 
 to repair the error (Just this morning it all worked fine):
