Hello; I use SuSE 9.1. I had a very hard freeze when trying to read a .bmp file and when I rebooted I had no X. In fact, I could not start X on either my Fedora partition or my SuSE partition (I had problems like this once before, and it seemed to be caused by the monitor being auto-scanned). Be that as it may, I got the Fedora partition working but I cannot get the SuSE partition working. I managed to get X started on SuSE but when KDE tries to start, it says "no write access to /root/.ICEauthority" I have no such file (but it exists on the Fedora partition). Can someone give me a pedestrian list of steps that I need to do with the 9.1 CD to fix this without trashing my data?
