Re: X is not starting

[Daniel Senderowicz <daniel at bicho dot synchrodesign dot com>]

Hi Igor,

First of all I must thank you for your prompt response. I went
and stopped some of the services listed in the BLODA file, but
the problem remains. However I found that if I use "xinit", X
works fine as used to do before with "startx". Does this make any
sense?

Best regards,

Daniel
