Hi folks,
here I am again:-(
This time, it is X which is causing troubles and I didn do anything. It worked
for the last months without any problems and the last actions I did were:
1) portsnap fetch update and then a portupgrade -aRr
2) changed my BIOS to enable S.M.A.R.T. on my harddisk
3) changed my BIOS to enable some sort of virus protection
After I rebooted I saw the following error at my console:
..zouk gdm[873]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting : 0
This repeated 3 times and it said something about Failed to start X server
several times in a short time period; disabling display :0
I was then trown at the command line (Yippee:-)
So, I went to the /etc/X11/ directory and looked at my xorg.conf file. Didn see
anything strange in it (mind you, I haven changed it lately and it has been
running for months without a problem)
Then I did the startx command and saw this error message:
...using config file: etc/X11/xorg.conf
(EE) No devices detected
Fatal server error:
no screens found
My xorg.conf looks like this:
