Boot Error

JuraL · February 28, 2010, 12:42pm

I have the problem that when I booted up the error “Maximum Number of X displays failures reache: check X server log for errors” occured.
I have an Intel chipset family.
Does anyone know the problem?

Many greetings,
Jural

sax2 -r -m 0=intel

or

sax2 -r -m 0=vesa

Is this after an initial installation? If so, try using the xorg.conf.install file. You can do that by:

cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install /etc/X11/xorg.conf

… that will give a poor resolution and poor performance, but you may be able to get X windows that way.

What did you do in Linux before you switched to Windows?

Did you read the suggested pages? Did you run the sax2 command as root?

JuraL · February 28, 2010, 4:42pm

yes i did it as root

before I switched i installed skype and updates for gimp

Sounds like you may have a damaged file system.Try running repair from the installation media and check the file system.

In case your previous problem came from using a cutting edge app that you should not have, may I recommend you restrict your software package manager repositories to only the following four: OSS, Non-OSS, Update and Packman. Just those 4. No others. None. Only add another long enough to install any essential application from the “other” and then disable any others. Only keep the 4 recommended.
