dunno, maybe the init script got confused. Maybe a module couldn't get |
| 22 |
unloaded and there's a "please reboot" kernel message sitting somewhere |
| 23 |
on one of your terminals (it happens :) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If init.d/xdm got confused, just `ps aux | grep gdm` to make sure it's |
| 26 |
not there, `killall Xorg` if you like, and then: `/etc/init.d/xdm zap` |
| 27 |
to bring it back in line. Then try starting it again. |
