Recently, whenever I launched a video with totem, my screen would go black and I'd end up back at the FC17 login screen. I was using the akmod-nvidia and kmod-nvidia drivers. I switched over to VLC as my default video player and the problem seemed to be solved; however, It's now doing the same thing whenever I try to launch google chrome. The screen goes black and I end up back at the login screen. It does it in both KDE and XFCE. Has anybody else seen this?
All troubleshooting related to X crashes starts with reading the relevant logs, in order to see what happened.
In the /var/log directory there should be two log files, Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old --- one of these files (probably the .old) contains the logs of the crashed X session. My suggestion is that you recreate the crash, and then post both files so that we can compare and see what went wrong.
Even better (given that those files are somewhat large), put them on pastebin or similar, and send us a link.
HTH, :-) Marko
Thanks Marko,
Here's the link to Xorg.0.log.old:
and the link to Xorg.0:
I forgot all about pastebin. :-)
