I have a rh 7.3 box and i recently had to change screens on it. After I had changed the screen it didnt boot properly(into graphical mode). This was because it couldnt handle 1024x768 @ 75hz i think. So i restarted it cos i froze and when it booted up it said something to the effect of "cannot read /tmp/X0.lock"

i did a cat /tmp/X0.lock and it said input/output error

this leads me to beleive that X0.lock i corrupt.

Thanks
Ivan Meredith
