Finally after waiting for the cursor for another 15 mins, I had to use the reset switch. On rebooting, Fsck always gives the following msg: Deleted inode 21614 has zero dtime: FIXED. I ran top from the CLI but honestly it makes no sense b'cos it shows unused memory and swap. I tried to generate a text file from top using top > /tmp/topmesg 2>&1 and I have attached the file. (btw, is there a better way of doing this ?) Also XF86Setup dumped core, thogh it's the only program tat set up my Xserver.: gdb gives the following. Core generated by XF86Setup. program terminated with siganl 11, Segmentation fault. #0 0x400e0056 in ?? (). any help ?? please.... Sharukh.
