Re: Cannot start X server after KDE login

[Kari Tammi <kari tammi 1posti net>]

Thanks a lot for your advice Ed! I noticed following:

I examined directory /usr/X11R6/lib/modules and compared it 
with my friend's computer (He's got RH 7.x).

Directory /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input is somehow corrupted 
in my computer and this is probably the reason for "Cannot 
start X" fault. 

I can't do anything with 'input' directory: I tried to go 
in this directory, remove it, and to force install XFree86-
4.3.0-2.90.43.i386.rpm (package contains the drivers in 
this particular directory). These trials were not 
successful, see the errors in the end of this message.

Thus, I'm claiming that login in KDE desktop caused 
corruption of certain files (ext3 used). Hard to believe?  

Of course, I'd still like to get out of this situation and 
fix the problem. Should I run fsck-command?

Commands tried and errors:
---
#cd input
-bash: cd: input: Input/output error

#rmdir input
rmdir: 'input': Not a directory  

# rm input
rm: cannot lstat 'input': Input/output error

# rpm -i --force XFree86-4.3.0-2.90.43.i386.rpm
error: unpacking of archieve failed: cpio: lstat failed - 
Input/output error
