It's not related. Also, it's not an error; if you look closely, the "error" strings are *arguments* to the command. It's just the X server telling you that it is executing a command. Said command has arguments that cause it to document its log output *if it has any*, which it apparently doesn't because the "Errors from" line only occurs as an argument and not by itself. As for the "xinit: connection to X server lost", that usually indicates that you used CTRL-ALT-BackSpace to abort the X server (although it *could* indicate the server died for some other reason). In any case, X server problems are not appropriate for linux-kernel; X doesn't have a kernnel component. -- brandon s. allbery os/2,linux,solaris,perl [EMAIL PROTECTED] system administrator kthkrb,heimdal,gnome,rt [EMAIL PROTECTED] carnegie mellon / electrical and computer engineering kf8nh We are Linux.
