It seems to be a timing problem. And I do not know what else.
Perhaps I need to do more tresting, but each test takes around 10 min. I have to boot, see it fail to go into X, try something reboot....
I have noticed that if I run pm-suspend and power back up, watch the system hang, pull the AC and the battery, and power up, I get into X. Strange?
But in the last few rounds, while services were loading, I did not do an <alt-D> to see details and X did not crash. Seems to be a timing issue... ???
Now my display is set for the one I have in my NOC, not the one here in my office. I tried to change it and although I am told the update to xorg.conf was made, no changes were made. I guess next time I will log in as root instead of chancing su...
ARGH!!!!!

I just installed Centos 5 for my notebook (HP compaq nc4010) on a separate drive (than this one that has Centos 4.5).
When I first booted after all the setup, X did not start. hmm.
Rebooted, and X came up fine. I did a bunch of customizing and upgraded the kernel
Rebooted, X did not start.
Rebooted X started fine. I checked some things out then tried the Suspend feature. Not supprisingly, the system would not come back properly out of suspend. So I pulled the battery and rebooted. Now no X.
I looked at the Xorg.0.log and did see one error (but did not write it down, grrr).
I have tried to mount that drive via a USB connector, but automount is not handling it, and I don't know how to start working out mounting it manually.
SO....
What happened? Oh, not nVidea (or whatever those threads on a video problem is). My video card is the: "ATI Technologies Inc PCI Bridge [IGP 340M]"
Is something still wrong becuase of the attempt to try Suspend? Where do I look and what do I change?
Possiblely I messed up in customizing? But I did run system-config-display and set things as they are here in Centos 4.5, and rebooted. No change....
please help!
