Same with me. The error message I get is "/etc/X11/X is not executable" -=Sean=- --- julien bodd <[email protected]> wrote:
Hello, I one had the same problem ! my X crashed and never worked again.. It was after I made an : apt-get dist-upgrade This does not happen only with Musix but with all kind of Debian systems. It happens between some X config files are moving placed between the stable and testing I think. So drivers (Nvidia only??) do not find the appropriate files. The first time it happens I could do nothing because I didn't know this was the problem. After I looked on the net..and found topics describing that. One solution was to make sym links from the new place to the old one.
Hmm..don't really remember other details.
Hope it helped !

Mmm. I never used this option.. also, I use apt-get in a konsole.

It's not hard... to upgrade the system:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
(but it would be better to read the manual: man apt-get)

Well, this could be easy to solve if I could know what files did you had into /etc/rcS.0/
As instance, it should be a file called: S61kdmset
And, also KDM should be installed on your system, to know it, type
apt-cache policy kdm
Then, we could make X to work.
