Could it be that your xorg.conf was corrupted? What other files do your F |
| 12 |
keys need to access to operate? I have found that with sudden crashes (I had |
| 13 |
a box with faulty memory that kept crashing on me) random files would get |
| 14 |
corrupted. The contents would normally be sound but access rights would get |
| 15 |
muddled up. |
