remember my SUSE 9 won't disply X windows problem...

The one where I could get the console and run things in text mode and
everything worked part from when you typed startx and then the screen just
went blank.

Well I left it alone for 2 weeks (ish) and as far as I can tell did
absolutely nothing.  Had another look at the box today to see if there was a
command line to play audio CDs (my linux box has the speakers plugged in to
it) and after a reboot it all came up in X with no problems.  Hmmmm.  Maybe
"auto yast update" did something I wasn't aware of and the reboot cured it
all.  I'm not going to reboot to test it just in case it stops again.
