Xwindows wont start
I have one machince where X crashes with some weird error on boot...
Fatal server error:
Cannot move old logfile "/var/log/XFree86.0.log.old"
This is running redhat enterprise ES 3, I cant figure out how to get past this error. I have tried deleting the logfiles and recreating them, however i still cant find why its doing this.
