I concur with this conclusion. Most likely your /var/log/messages file (or
one of the log files) is full. Boot up into console and delete whatever is
in the message files and see if that doesn't allow you to get to X. If it
does, the next step to fixing it is edit /etc/logrotate.conf and
I had a problem with the X font server (Mandrake 8.0)starting so I took
someone's advice (not on this list) to change the port for xfs from "unix/:-1"
to port "7100". I changed this in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs. It didn't work. I opened the files from the command line
