I've rebooted my machine many times and started X and Xfce4 without any trouble, however today I'm out of town on the road and when I startx my machine reboots. If I log in as root and startx i can run xorg without xfce4. but if i try startxfce4 the machine reboots. If I try to startx without xfce4 from my non-root account it locks up. It's pretty quick and nothing I can see in the logs... Anyone have any ideas about troubleshooting??? It seems like it's out of the blue with no changes to the system that I recall. :) Thanks Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA
