Can't Start XServer

Dear All,

I'm using RHEL 4 ES, power tripped a while back and when
Linux starts up it
shows this error:

I cannot start the X server <http://www.lin
uxforums.org/forum/#> (your
graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up
correctly. would
you like to view the X server output to diagnose the
problem? (Y/N)

I then tried running the configuration program and this is
what it found
out:

Could not find config file
tried
//XF86Config
/etc/XF86Config
/usr/X11R6/lib/XF86Config.PortalServer01.in.svi.ph
/usr/X11R6/lib/XF86Config

The configuration program then finished but the error still
persists.. Can
anyone help?

Your config file should be /etc/X11/xorg.conf

On RHEL4 you need to run `system-config-display` - usually
sorts everything.
If that fails, run:

Xorg -configure

and follow instructions.

After running the sytem-config-display (same with the one I
was mentioning
awhile back), the program created a conf file 
/etc/X11, but when I try to
start X Windows, it still looks for the conf file at these
locations (see
below) and not in /etc/X11. I even tried copying
/etc/X11/xorg.conf to the
said directories all to no avail. What seems to be the
problem?

//XF86Config
/etc/XF86Config
/usr/X11R6/lib/XF86Config.PortalServer01.in.svi.ph
/usr/X11R6/lib/XF86Config

I tried executing Xorg with no parameters & Xorg with
the -config
/etc/X11/xorg.conf both resulted in a blank black screen
with an X mouse
pointer, nothing was displayed from then on.

Yes, I did omit config from the command, sorry.
Can you copy/paste contents of the xorg.conf?
What hardware (vga, monitor, mouse, kbd) do you have?

Can't Start XServer

Hi

First check your disk free space with

df -h ---> disk free and
df -i  ----> Inode free

Secondly clean the "/tmp" directory

thirdly go into the runnlevel 3 and
move the configuration file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
to some file "Make sure the
file is moved not copied"

then issue the command "system-config-display"

after issuing the command you should see the X window and a
dialog box for
configuring your display

when you click "finish" it will return to the
command prompt

now enter into the runlevel 5 -------- You will get the
display correctly
