I decided to run xf86config; that worked. Once X was configured, I tried to start kdm ... the system reboots every time I try to start X. In searching through the archives, one would be lead to believe that there exists a hardware problem. This is perplexing, since this same hardware (whichever piece may be bad) never causes problems in other operating systems (namely, Windows and Linux). My system is a 1.0 GHz AMD Thunderbird with a Kingston tulip NIC, Matrox G400 single head card, and SBLive soundcard. The processor and mobo are new. I also get another weird error. At seemingly random times, [during or shortly after a long period of compiling something] I get an error message that says something about microuptime, processor time went backwards???. I noticed on a similar machine (all the same except w/ an 800 MHz Athlon) that FreeBSD also had the microuptime issue. Any thoughts?
