I had sles 11 sp2 installed on my system some days back and it was running fine.
Today after I restarted my system the gui is not coming up and system starts in command terminal.
sax2 command returns error:
sax: gui is missing, starting command line interface
sax: no x-server running
and startx return errors like failed to load modules freetype, fbdev, kbd, mouse.
What might be the issue and how to resolve it?
Does startx, xinit, or whatever work?
No none of them worked and so I just reinstalled the OS.
Wow! Something happened to your X installation. X can be fussy, spans many files and settings. I use Xvnc because then X is network failure immune. I am usually remote or on an X-only device (where I ran vncviewer inside X).
Yes the monitor driver got messed up and so instead of wasting time in debugging it I reinstalled os.
