ICEPACK LINUX -- X SERVER W0ES

[joesysop]

After an install of icebox linux it boots and then the screen blinks rapidly then it says X server respawned too quickly, disabled for 1 hour.

How can I fix this????!??!

Reinstalled Icebox Linux while the following two cards were in the system:
Radeon 7000
Geforce 2 MX/200

I try to use the xfree conf but i dont see USB mouse listed under choices so i dont think I can do it that way

i also dont know how to use vi!

"Respawn to quickly" usaly means that the application in matter buggs out on something and init tries to restart it, when that happends to quickly it will be a timeout.

I suggest you boot up in singleuser mode and change in /etc/inittab so you can boot up in textmode. Then you will be able to fix the problems with your X server.

After you get a text mode login prompt, log in and run "tail -20 /var/log/XFree86.0.log" to get the last log messages from the X server before it died. Post them here.
