Re: [newbie] StartX-problems
I think that was my fault because I have instaled the XFree3.3.6 server with 3D Hardware Acceleration. I have reinstalled the system and I have choosen the XFree4.0.1 detonator. I have shut the power down and than booted new and everything is all right. My graphic card is RIVA TNT2. Thanks Sybek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] StartX-problems
Thank You Frans! It's looks like I have no available space on the / partition: File system 1k-blocks UsedAvailable Use% Mounted on /dev/hda5 1075176 1052980 0 100% / /dev/hda7 774040 992 733692 0%/home /dev/hda1 6131992 4434228 169776472% /mnt/windows How can I change the partition's size and the mount point? The home partition is to big and the / partition is to less. Thank for any suggestions. Seba fo friends Sybek. Frans Ketelaars wrote: Sebastian wrote: Your font server, xfs is not running.

RE: [newbie] StartX-problems
I'd suspect that you have a very large error file somewhere - look in /var/log, /tmp/ and the other usual places for a very large files. For example, is there a particularly large .xsession-errors file anywhere (maybe in /root)? If you want to resize your partition, mybe FIPS will do it, or one of the *DRAKE programs - I've always used Partition Magic myself, as I always have a copy handy... either way, make sure you back anything important up first, just in case.

Re: [newbie] StartX-problems
Thank You Steve I have looked everywhere for the file and i couldn't find it. I tried find command with -size, -name, -atime, -xdev, -print option combinations. I had a look for the files in the /var/log directory (errors, message, syslog) and I couldn't find anything interesting there. Now I will try to resize my partitions.
