Things are getting really odd. I've managed to get x to start as root (login
at runlevel 3). I can log in as a user (again, runlevel 3), but x will
refuse to start (partially different errors).

At first, I thought this could be down to an error in the .gconf directory,
so I renamed it, but it still failed to log me into X (it's complaining
about there being two fields instead of one or something similar).

I know the x server is running fine otherwise I couldn't log in as root and
start x (bad practice, but I had to test the server somehow!).

I've not tried S/init 4/login/startx yet but will later. Downgrading x and
evdev makes no difference (first thing I tried).

TTFN
