Folks,
Sometimes X will not start on a x86_64 nvidia geforce 6600 machine.
The system boots to the prompt. So what I do then is this, as root:
cd /tmp
rm -fr .*
rm -fr *
kdm
Then X starts, as well as KDE. Some fonts are missing (in emacs), but
at least the system works.
Then I reboot and it generally starts OK the next time.
But from time to time, it boots back to the prompt. It's
annoying on the part of a mature system but then I have all my audio
tools in there.
If I was to put the above instructions, except from kdm) in the
normal boot sequence, where would be the best place amongst the boot
scripts ?
