 ] Hi all,
 ] 
 ] I am running RH 6.0. It came with xf86 3.3.3.1. Since my
 ] card(SiS620) was not supported I had to upgrade it to x 3.3.4 
 ] But when I did this and rebooted the X font server would refuse to start
 ] up and the system would hang. The only way I could get past this was to
 ] re-install 6.0. My default runlevel is 3 (full multi-user mode). Is
 ] there a way to disable the xfs in one of the rc scripts and start it
 ] later after logging in or is there a more elegant solution ?

Boot single user mode (type "linux single" at the LILO prompt).
When the system boots single-user, do "chkconfig xfs off".  This
will make xfs no longer start up at boot.

You can then either type "reboot", or hit ^D to let it finish 
booting.
