X issue

[Dustin]

I did install SSH but did not configure it yet, so I cannot log in over the network using SSH.
 
Graphics Card: SIS 6326
 
Thanks,
 
Dustin

I managed to configure it well enough to get into Fluxbox, but when I exited out from X, the system would hang.  I ended up having to hard-shut it down after it hung.  Now I cannot get back into X.  When I run 'startx', the system hangs.

	- try if your box is reachable via network (ssh). if yes, kill XFree86
	  this should relinquish your console
	
	- look through /var/log/XFree86.0.log
	
	- which kind of graphic card are you using?
