any of the previous descriptions (changing gdmsetup, etc.). So I'm going

I have determined that (on my system) disabling the Nvidia video driver fixes
this problem.
When using the Nvidia video driver the following is found in the Xorg.0.log
file:

I'm not seeing that in my Xorg.0.log - the log file is attached.

Right now it is working as it should (see earlier post; one of many
