X has always worked. Never failed once after finally getting through XF86Config. Today, it up and quit, refuses to start and nothing, repeat _nothing_ has been changed by this sole user/admin since yesterday. I mean, it was running when I shut it down (orderly like) and we went to bed. The error message starts by declaring itself "XFree86 Version 3.3.3.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, Revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: December 29 1998" and ends with: "Config Error: /etc/XF86Config:2823 Read the section entitled 'ANTI-SPAM CONFIGURATION CONTROL'.. Example section name expected X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)" The "anti spam" section of /etc/XF86Config refers to files not found on this machine. Any clues?
