G'Day,

when i log on as a user i get a blank
x screen, when i go back i see the following message -

The keyboard keymap compiler (xk bcomp) reports:
error:    bad length in geometry
             output file "/var/tmp/server-o.km" removed
errors from xk bcomp are not fatal to the xserver
couldnt load xkb keymap, falling back to pre-xkb keymap
cant write pid to "/var/lock/news/shlock458", no space left on device
cat: /var/lock/news/lock.inwatch: no such file or directory
