Re: [Plug] X Lockup under 2.2.10
|
1. You can get your kernel version through the command:
uname -r
1A. Already answered correctly: rpm -qa | grep -i <name of pkg>
2. No idea.
3. There's probably a file in your home directory called .X.err. This
should contain the output. If it's stale, delete it and restart X to
recreate it. Also check the /var/log area (as always).
The moron question is subjective and, as such, I won't go into it.
