Yes it is.
ps -ef | grep xfs
xfs 3661 1 0 10:12 ? 00:00:00 [xfs]
There is no /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 backup. It was working fine
yesterday, and when i booted this morning x would not come up. I might
have make some resolution changes yesterday before shutting down. " rpm
-qa --last | tac | tail" shows nothing.
Thank you.
