new kernel - no xfree

after updating to kernel-2.4.23 when i start xfree a black screen appears with the x mouse cursor (which i can move) a second later it jumps back saying "Using vt7 - waiting for X server to shut down"
no errors in the log

i reemerged xfree and all that stuff but nothing helped

sounds like you missing something in the kernel configuration.
Did it work before you changed kernel ?

Check your grsecurity settings, setting it to "high" will break your X. Choosing the medium default should work.
