well i managed to do the unthinkable, while clearing out some files (i think
thats what did it) i managed to break X !!! was a simple operation...
cd /tmp
rm -Rf *
that was all !! now unable to start X as i get a load of  "unable to load"
messages and on occasion "no screens found"

That could not have done it ! :)

I think it more likely that stray neutron atoms corrupted some part of
your hard drive where X lies. Anyway, you should not bother cleaning
/tmp as programs may have temp files there. Let the os clear it for you
when you reboot.

any ideas anyone ?

attach a gzipped version of the X.log? sorry to be unhelpful :)
