[SOLVED] X-Wondows booting problem

[khaki_monster]

hello guys,

I have successfully installed a dual boot OS with Windows XP and Linux (CentOS 5). It work actually but it was just a couple of times. Booting from Windows is fine but with Linux it gives me some kind of error like:

fatal server error
no screens found
XIO: Fatal IO error 104 (Connetion reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 request (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

i hope anyone could give some idea how to fix this problem...

thanks in advanced...

Press Alt+Ctrl+F1. log in as Regular User and execute startx command. Does it throw same error?
Try to reconfigure display settings :

system-config-display command will ask a few questions about Display Card, Monitor and supported Resolutions.
Execute this to reboot machine :

shutdown -r now

Graphics should work fine on reboot.
