Is it really OK

[Giulio Troccoli]

I have started a new thread because it's not really the same problem, 
but this is really a spin-off of "Installing Fedora 8 on Intel Dual Core".

The reason why I had a black screen were, apparently, more than one.

The xorg.conf wasn't quite right. I ran "X -configure" and that was 
better. Still I had to change the driver from intel to vesa. Then there 
was a problem with some lock files in the /tmp directory. The problem 
was cause by me deleting and recreating the user (for a reason that's 
unrelated to the problem).

Anyway, I haven't tried rebooting yet, but if I login and type startx 
everything is fine.

However, I get some messages which are all warnings but I don't like and 
I would like to know from who has more experience that me what to do 
with them. I ssh-ed from my laptop and in that terminal typed startx. On 
the monitor attached to the server GNOME comes up, but on the terminal I 
have the following

[giulio at localhost ~]$ startx
xauth:  creating new authority file /home/giulio/.serverauth.27917
