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!!!!!
