Me too. Did you get the erratta released by RH? There's a bunch of
updates for X on their ftp site. Actually, there's a bunch of erratta
period. Go get it.

cat /proc/version will give you version, who compiled it, the
compiler used and the date compiled.

If you used rpm, you can get a nice detailed report with
rpm -qi `rpm -qa` | less
Or direct it to a file. The output will be... detailed.

Well, there's always the kernel mailinglist & whatnot. But I'm running
the same distro and the 2.2.10 kernel here, home and on 3 other boxes
just fine. I think you may be in need of the updated X eratta.

If you mean the output of startx, it goes to stderr. Redirect it to
stdout.
startx &> startx.log
that'll pipe it to startx.log, its in the bash manpage. Different shells
work differently.

Keep breaking stuff and fixing it. How do you think the rest of us
figure it out? :)
J.
When I grow up, I wanna be more like me.
I had a clue. I didn't like it. I took it back and exchanged it for an
attitude.
