[NTLUG:Discuss] X problem

[Bobby Wrenn]

As I mentioned in my original message the problem is the result of a
power failure. I had two machines with different video cards both
working fine. after the power failure they both have the same error.
They were running X with kde at the time of the failure.

Thanks
Bobby
