From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Description of problem: I usually build my servers in VMware and don't have a problem. I started migrating from Red Hat 9 to Fedora Core 1 (fresh OS install). Everything works fine until applying the 40-some updates from up2date. In one VM, the mouse went wild and started wildly clicking thinks by just touching it. This was fixed by reselecting PS/2 mouse from system settings. In a 2nd VM, I started having the same problem after running up2date and applied the same fix. I then rebooted the environment and now X server crashes before graphic login with a "no screens found". I try re-running "redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig -v" but no dice as it just comes back with "xconf.py Fatal IO error 2 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :17.0." I don't remember Xfree86 in the list of up2date patches. Thoughts? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Xfree86-4.3.0-42 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot 2. Wait for X server failure 3. Additional info:
