[vox-tech] display mess

[Jan W]

Having absolutely _no_ idea as to which service might have caused this,
I would try posting the output of `chkconfig --list` to list which
daemons/applications run at which runlevel.

At runlevel 5 (normal X11), I think Fedora needs gdm (Gnome Display
Manager, or some such) to run the graphical login thingy.  That's one I
think you could check, at least.  You need this even if you run KDE,
b/c I think all X11 login screens use gdm.

But could you please post the output of `chkconfig --list`, and I might
be able to help you out more :)

--best of luck

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.
