Hi,

Looks like, i am also facing the similar problem. RHEL5.0 is installed in my HP compaq 6910p laptop. When i give startx command, it throws X server crash error.

I have tried the couple things mentioned in this mail thread.

Hi and Welcome !

Could you post exact error message here?
Execute this

su -
/sbin/lspci | grep -i vga
grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Post output here.

I have executed both the commands and the outputs are as follows,

su -
/sbin/lspci | grep -i vga

00:02:0 VGA Compatiable Controller | Intel Coporationm Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller(rec 0c)


grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Drvier "Kbd"
Drvier "synaptics"
Drvier "vesa"

You also need to include the exact error messages that are shown on the screen when you run "startx".

Replace vesa with i810 in xorg.conf file.
Execute this

su -
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Press Ctrl+X, Y and hit Enter key to save file.

Try intel now and in case it doesn't work, post the contents of xorg.conf file here ( Section Monitor and Screen only).

[sv_saran]

Hi,

I tried with Intel option also, startx still fails. Here is the xorg.conf content

xorg,conf looks fine to me.
Try to reconfigure Display settings. Execute this

system-config-display

[sv_saran]

I have tried this command system-config-display but the result is same.

Any other suggestions, please.
